A candidate may submit additional letters of recommendation in order to provide a fuller profile of academic proficiencies or personal character. All letters of recommendation are added to the applicant’s file and are especially useful for a full evaluation of academic and personal potential. Letters of recommendation are also required for certain scholarship awards.
