[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone has their stories and ideas on what does and doesn't give you an advantage. The reality of it is, admission needs change year to year. [/quote] First choice letters do make a difference. Yield matters to schools. Further, if you have two similar applicants and one is enthusiastic and really wants to be there, I.e. they clearly value ad,idioms highly, vs one who doesn’t, who would you choose? A letter that just says you’re my first choice helps, but what helps more is an articulation of WHY it’s a first choice, I.e why the candidate thinks it is a good match. The sincerity, quality, and persuasiveness of the letter matters. [/quote]
