[quote=Anonymous]I think a sincere (and true) note about a school being your student’s first choice can be helpful. In my son’s 8th-grade class, the students who wrote one generally seemed to find more success, and he himself got into his first-choice Big 3 school after such a letter. Of course, even if there is some disproportionate success rate, it may be because the very same factors that might lead someone to write a letter could be the same factors that make the students attractive to that school (good fit, alignment of priorities, etc.). I really don’t think it can hurt. But, as others have said, it has to be true — so only one first-choice letter can be sent — and it should clearly connect the unique attributes of the school with the student.[/quote]
