[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a practice that is generally frowned upon because it favors students whose parents and peers who are familiar with the content of letters of recommendation, and have the time and language skills to do so, i.e., wealthy and well-educated. Coaches and teachers at underserved schools are too busy to write a well developed letter.[/quote] I agree (but also, that’s why it’s not required and is entirely de-emphasized in the admissions process.) we visited twice and read a ton because it was a top choice and found only a couple mentions, akin to being able to submit an optional portfolio (for a non art school/art major.) my student didn’t do it and was admitted.
