Hey, I saw that Yale only wants 1 supplemental recommendation at most, but I have two really significant ones. I did slideroom and submitted one recommendation as a “reference.” Does that count as a supplemental rec therefore making me unable to send another one? Or, would it not be considered as such thus allowing me to send another one? Thanks!
What are you two supplements? Do they vary from your first two recommendations and each other? Be wary. If Yale cannot glean a new aspect of your character from each one, then the supps will work against you. Such is the case with any supplemental material.
The one I sent as a “reference” with my research abstract is a rec from my research mentor, and the other is from the person I worked under during my volunteering. I believe that my “volunteering boss” could explain some things, since I believe did something significantly different than what others generally do when they volunteer at nursing homes.
