Letters of recommendation and evaluations? Forum

[Spinach Lover]

Just wondering what you people think. Are you going to request both of these from your recommenders or just traditional letters of recommendation? Thanks!

Both because Cornell wants evaluations.

Thanks for your reply! I just checked Cornell's website, and here is what they say: 'The use of the Evaluation Service is completely optional. If you choose to utilize the evaluation service, we will accept a maximum of two evaluations.' So by "Cornell wants evaluations," you meant "they accept it but don't require it"? Or you had an alternate source that says Cornell requires evaluations?

There was a source that said they recommend it.
