<p>I'm planning to apply to ND this fall and I need all the help I can get. I just read that each applicant is entitled to one letter from an alumnus in addition to the teacher and counselor recommendations. Is this right, even though the application says that additional letters slow the process and don't add much to the application?</p>
<p>I do know an alumnus who I bet would write a letter for me, but is it worth the extra effort?</p>
