Sending an additional recommendation after a deferral

<p>How do I go about doing this? Through the common app by assigning a new recommender?
Thanks</p>

<p>You can email it or mail it via post if you would like. But this is generally not encouraged. Unless the LOR says something about you that is from a remarkably different perspective than the previous ones, sending another LOR really just dilutes your application. They aren’t wanted, in general</p>

<p>The additional recommendation would be from an employer, while my first 2 were from teachers. it would be a different perspective. Is it still not encouraged?</p>

<p>A different perspective is a beginning, but note that T26E4 has a higher standard: a remarkably different perspective. Employers are not teachers, so naturally the perspective is different. </p>

<p>My questions would be, why didn’t you submit the additional LOR with your initial application, and what has changed since then? I know, a deferral, but that doesn’t call for a second bite at the apple, IMO. You might hurt your chances more than help them if you don’t have good answers to the questions. </p>

<p>As to the mechanics of doing it, I’m sure that you can Google it. For Yale, it was snail mail with a set of recommended information to be included at the top.</p>

<p>Good luck. </p>
