<p>I am applying to Cornell University and would like to send a recommendation from another Ivy League University where I did research. Do you think its a good idea? Will it add to my not so competitive app? I know it will not make or break their decision, but can it help.</p>
<p>It might help a little bit. Better than not doing anything at all.</p>
<p>thanks. any other thoughts?</p>
<p>would the school that you did the research at wonder why you didn’t apply there? and if so, would the letter of rec be any good?</p>
<p>im applying there as well. In fact, its my number one choice. I hope its good, I wont be able to see it though.</p>
<p>The point isn’t that it’s from another college. The point is that it’s from a professor who has seen you in a context that’s not common for high school students and can therefore write an interesting rec about you.</p>
