<p>If i got additional recommendation letters from my community service place and etc does turning those in benefit me or does it not really affect me?
(Also including separate letters besides the one online from my math, science, and english teachers)</p>
<p>they will benefit you greatly just not with the actual usma application. when you apply for a nomination from the four possible sources, most require 3-5 letters of rec. </p>
<p>so they will be extremely helpful with getting a nomination. i got like 12 different letters so i could narrow it down and see which ones were best. **always make copies to send out- keep the original on file</p>
<p>In many cases, you will not be allowed to see the letters. If the letters are not written on-line through a special portal, they will be written then given to you sealed and signed across the back of the envelope so that the contents will remain confidential.</p>
