We got one, but it was months ago. I’m pretty sure everyone is invited to send one. It’s a thin beige envelope you might have thrown out without opening in the barrage of junk mail we all get from colleges. I happened to open it. I actually enjoyed writing it and went through several drafts. You can still write one and send it in although I think mine had a “due date” of Jan. 1. They want you to keep it to one page or under. That was basically the only criteria. A couple weeks after I mailed it I saw it pop up as “received” in her applicant portal. The letter will not make or break your chances.
