<p>NYU's site says they want at least 1 letter of rec. Is it better to send 2, or will that just annoy the adcom?</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>I applied last year and got in. I sent 2 so I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t hurt.</p>
<p>I plan on only sending one rec but I doubt if you send two they will ignore it, never read on it anywhere.</p>
<p>i personally feel like recommendation letters are most effective when they are negative, in other words, if all your sent-in letters are very general flatters of you i dont think it would be very helpful since they know its in your teacher’s best interest to get you into college.</p>
<p>with that said, if your second rec letter has something very specific your teacher would say about you, i think it would definitely help.
but if its just basically a repeat of the same letter but from a different name, you can send it, but it probably wont make much difference.</p>
<p>good luck! :D</p>
<p>p.s. i sent in a supplementary video basically interviewing other peoples’ thoughts of me, to make me kind of stand out; i called the admissions office and they told me flat out that they probably wont have time to look at it at all, but i sent it anyways. you never know</p>
