<p>I sent two teacher recs (I think 4A and 4B? I forget the letters/numbers), as well as the secondary school report from my counselor. Thing is, the counselor that did my report is new to our school and has only known me my senior year, so I got a rec from my old counselor that I’ve known since freshman year. That rec did not have any form attached to it, it was just sent by itself (I also sent this rec to my other schools in the same manner). I was hoping that my schools would just append the rec to my secondary school report, sort of giving me two counselor recs. Do you think this is realistic, or would my schools simply throw away that rec because it doesn’t have a form attached to it/isn’t “required”?</p>
<p>No, they'll probably look at it.</p>
<p>I also sent one... they will look at it.</p>
<p>How would we label a supplemenatary rec? I didn't realize we could send more than the ones with the forms, but I have one that this one private catholic school wrote for me after I spent a weekend redoing their entire network and reinstalling windows on forty or so machines for free, and it was kinda amazing since it was so, um... complimentary.</p>
<p>I've sent two supplementary recs since being deferred...do y'all think that could help at all?</p>
<p>areal777: Just have them right up a letter, with your SN#, full name and the school you currently attend, and then just have them send it to the office of admissions. You don't really need the SN if you are scared, but it just makes filing it easier.</p>
<p>PoetBird: It all depends on who wrote your rec..</p>
<p>What do you mean by "who"? In terms of the reputation of the recommender or how well he/she knew you?</p>
<p>Both are important...</p>
<p>they'll read it, just make sure they can attach it to you</p>
<p>Ok...
One of them is the NHS sponsor- kind of a leadership rec...the other is more attesting to personal character; she's read a lot of my writing</p>
<p>What I was thinking was that in addition to 3 academic recs the extras would kind of provide a fuller picture of me. </p>
<p>I guess I'll find out in 2 months...</p>
<p>thank you d00ders</p>
