<p>I would suggest that the most important thing to do is for the student to write us about his/her interest in Richmond. That would be more valuable than additional letters of rec. However, for SonicEx Youth’s nephew, since he spoke to someone in the office who could have been looking at his file when he was advised, I would do what the admission officer said. It could be that he only had one recommendation and it might not have been all that helpful. </p>
<p>Letters from WL students about their interest will be most valuable to us in late April, so I might wait a week or two to write. Some students who are very enthusiastic this week may have gotten excited about another school by late in the month. We’ll want to know of your interest at the time when we’re actually looking a WL candidates. Of course, it is much too soon for us to know if we’ll go to the WL yet. </p>
<p>I hope this helps.</p>
