Hi, I am applying to Caltech and a few other schools as a high school junior this year. Is it necessary to have my parents send in a letter supporting my decision (to apply early)?

If yes, what should they write in the letter? can they say stuff that recommends me such as some achievements not listed on the application, why they think I am a good fit for the school and why I think I am a good fit for the school (which I tell them a lot)? that way it almost sounds like an additional recommendation…would that be okay? or a bit pushy?

Thank you.
