Hey i got deferred from Northeastern University. Northeastern is one my top choices and I want to do all that i can to get in. do you think sending in a rec letter from a parent will decrease my chances of getting in? The reason why i am asking this is becasue I feel that if i send a letter from a teacher, it will be almost the same as my previous rec letters. Also, I think a parent can write qualties that that teachers can’t. what do you think? thnaks for the help! also, is it common for people to send in rec letters from a parent?
