Hello,
I checked if a thread on this existed but was unable to find one- Gateway only allows one special interest recommendation to be submitted, however the form says you can submit multiple. I have to submit two, does anyone know how I can do this?
Or, does anyone know who I should contact? I apologise for bumping this but I haven’t found an answer anywhere and I need to talk to the teachers today.
Talk to the AOs at the schools you are applying to. Remember, more is not necessarily more. No one wants to read umpteen recs for one kid.
I have one from my piano teacher who I’ve known for 8 years, and one from my drama teacher who I’ve known for two, but who also has great things to say about me…if it’ll be annoying then I’ll just get the piano one but if not I think it’d be beneficial, but I’m not familiar with the process. What do you think?
I would ask the AOs:
Can I send an extra rec or is it too much?
If yes, how do I send it?
If anyone has similar problem:
I emailed AOs for all schools, except Exeter, doing that now. It was worth it because they have different solutions.
Choate and Hotchkiss said to scan and email, Andover said to attach on Gateway P2 where it says “Optional Additional Documents”. On the too much thing, Andover allows up to 3 personal recs (wouldn’t recommend) but from that I’m assuming 2 special interest recs aren’t too much.
