<p>I am looking at the EA people and it seems that some of the more borderline acceptees had supplemental letters and materials that got them in. I'm wondering if I should have submitted one from my oboe teacher to make me stand out a little more even though I didn't submit a recording. I was thinking about it but then decided not to because Yale's website seems to have negative attitude towards them and I thought it might not look good without recording to back it up. With my stats would it help or hurt? (I could actually probably have him write a very good letter and send it off on Saturday).</p>

<p>Also, would it be okay if the rec didn't get sent a few days past deadline?</p>
