<p>I’m applying as a transfer student for fall 2011. </p>
<p>If I know an accepted Browns student (a classmate of mine) who knows me well , and I ask her to write an extra recommendation letter to Brown, will that help me a bit ?</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>Nope, not really. Brown wants recommendations from teachers/professors and guidance counselors, not peers. Your friend can probably say good things about you, but Brown assumes that your friends would. If you want an extra rec letter, talk to another adult who has taught you or that you’ve worked for.</p>
