<p>It seems that different colleges have different views about submitting additional letters of recommendation beyond the two teachers and GC letters. The impression we got from visiting some schools was that admissions staff are overwhelmed and do not want extra work, and would look upon an additional letter as a burden (something more to read after a long day).</p>
<p>What are your thoughts about including an additional letter of recommendation if you think it could really help your child? In particular, would you send one if a school mentions that "you can submit an extra letter, but we don't prefer it"?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
