<p>A good idea, with this caveat: much more important than the status your recommender is that they know you well enough to address some aspect of your life, abilities, or character in detail that your other writers could not. This could be because they have long known you in some capacity that your other writers have not or that you have done something recently that your past writers could not have cited. An additional recommender should shed new light on you.</p>
