additional rec

<p>hi everyone
for chicago’s additional rec
I asked my mom to write me a rec saying how as a international student, i learned English from scratch (since I am from Taiwan) and what motivated to study in the states and apply to u chicago.
Would this hurt my chances?
Because no one submits a rec from their parents?
I am really starting to worry since I already sent the package to U Chicago admiss office :(</p>

<p>Thanks everyone
Happy holidays!</p>

<p>A rec from your mom is basically useless. It won’t hurt you. It just won’t help you.</p>
