<p>My friend wrote me a letter of recommendation for admission to Dartmouth, and I ended up sending her letter to every college that allowed me to do so on the Common App. While I had my doubts, I decided to do so because my teacher’s recommendation (the one I saw), did not really ‘show’ what I was like as a student, as it only ‘described’ I was a good student. (My teachers all were not native speakers and were not so familiar with the American application process). So use the following rule of thumb - will it add to your friend’s application? If not, don’t send.
PS: Yale doesn’t seem to like extra letters so much… so perhaps don’t send it. I sent in an additional recommendation from my math teacher, by the way.</p>
