Supplemental Recommendation (LOR)

Hi, I’m planning to send a supplemental LOR to my RD colleges by the end of next week (10 Feb at the latest) as well as Yale (my REA, from which I was deferred). Would this be too late?

Have the schools asked for a letter ? How would this add to your candidacy ? Will this letter say something different and unique about you that other letters didn’t ?

I understand you want admission to Yale or the other schools you are waiting on but this is unlikely to help.

Have you met and not exceeded the requirement for each of these schools in regard to these schools? If so just say no.

Otherwise you can email your AO to ask if you can submit another letter. But make sure if they asked for two teachers and no one else…then don’t, etc.

In general you should have met the application deadline and this is not a wise strategy. In my opinion you should stop now. In general, this is a horrible idea (in my opinion).

This is not going to positively impact your admission decision. If you apply to top schools…schools with a 5,10,15,20 % acceptance rate then you’re unlikely to get in.

Hopefully you applied not just to reach schools like Yale , but targets and safeties as well.

Good luck.
