Submitting 3 Letters of Recommendation

Transfer Students
1

<p>Anyone have experience (from actually applying, or talk with schools about this) or thoughts on this?</p>

<p>I'll be applying to several schools where the qualitative basis will be heavily weighed (some ivies, etc) and although the schools often require just two letters I am wondering if I should submit a third. The specific third letter I have in mind would address aspects of me that I feel that I do talk about a bit in my application but nonetheless the other two recommendations will not be mentioning. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’d do it. If the letter is written professionally, contains major pluses, and talks about some areas that your other two letters haven’t touched upon, it could be a great addition to your application.</p>

<p>Most school require 2, and will take up to 3 or 4. I’d send your 3rd one, too.</p>
