Many parents write these, provided that you are willing to accept once offered a spot.

That being said, it should come from the parent.

I think its not age apropriate for a 10 year old to think that up on their own and it would seem a bit like a ploy to have your child write one. THey are 10 years old.


I agree that it should come from the parent, and certainly would not hurt for you to restate that if given a spot, your child absolutely would attend.

I am trying to decide whether its worth it for us to write one? We are only applying to one school but I don't think it asks on the application what other schools you are applying to so I am not sure if I need to reiterate that. I don't want to nag the admissions person.

Yes but I would hurry up on it. They may have already made their decisions or are about to. Good luck!!!!!

Yes, that's a nice idea. And first choice letters from parents are also common and not frowned upon; they can make a difference if it is truly a situation of "all things being equal."

I think that would be better than a letter from a parent.
