<p>Not sure if I should ask this here or in the F. Aid forum but I'll try here first.</p>
<p>There are a couple of big scholarships at several selective universities that require letters of recommendation. My son emailed one school, WUSTL, and asked about using the letters from the Common App. for the scholarship. They said it would be ok but I'm wondering if they really meant it.</p>
<p>What do your kids do in these situations? Obviously, his recommenders would tailor the letter to reflect the specific scholarship but they wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. I just feel kind of bad that my son keeps having to ask these same people for more recommendations; I mean, these people are busy. They seem to be fine with it but I still feel guilty. He could go with totally new people but his three from the Common App. plus his music supplement recommendations are all really strong, so it would be a real stretch to get others.</p>
<p>Just wondering what others do. I think he's got 3-5 more of these to go.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
