An extra letter of recommendation? Forum

[LessThanLiz]

Hey,

I'm applying to Notre Dame and already have two letters of recommendation from professors of mine. I do know a lawyer who went to law school at Notre Dame who would like to write me a recommendation as well. Would I lose points for having a third letter of recommendation when they only ask for two?

I've never seen any law school that required 2 LORs discourage 3, but make sure that the 3rd one really says something extra that the other 2 didn't.

send it. It won't hurt (law schools which req none aren't going to frown upon sending 1, 2, or 3.)

did you work for this lawyer or did he teach you?

Follow directions.

If it says: "2 LOR required, maximum 4 allowed", then sure, OK, send it.

If it says: "2 only" then don't.
