On the Letter of Recommendation piece, I definitely assumed that when my daughter went back to the same teachers for a recommendation for something beyond the common app recommendation (ie she had already asked for a college rec, but then also needed one for a scholarship or something else), that they could recycle the original one they wrote for common app. So hopefully it’s not an entirely new imposition, but merely a minor administrative request for them to re-send what they had already thoughtfully crafted. That’s what I had assumed and hoped at least. Maybe some scholarships and programs have unusually specific questions that they ask recommenders, such that they have to write an entirely new letter??? But otherwise, it should not be a big deal to add on (whereas of course the original letter requires much thought and effort, and deserves a lot of gratitude!!).
