i would definitely bring a letter of rec. as a word of caution, they ask you to write down a couple of your prospective majors and they claim that you’re interview will be with professors in that field…they are lying. i got matched with a professor who’s in a field that i’d never be interested in, and it was definitely one of the worst interviews i’ve ever had. i came outta there thinking there was no way that i was getting the scholarship. so i think the letter of rec was definitely what pushed me over the edge. i would also recommend getting a separate letter of rec (it sounds as though you’re planning on using one that your teachers/counselors wrote when you were initially applying to schools? i told my teachers/counselors that this was for a specific scholarship at a specific school, so they rewrote the letter to cater to that. good luck!
