One of my letter writers (and my current supervisor) offered to write me a follow-up LOR to highlight some of my recent accomplishments (that were not addressed in the letter from months ago).
I've never heard of anyone submitting second LORs from the same writer, and am not sure if that's even possible/viewed favorably. Many schools require all letters to be sent through AMCAS, and even for those that have a file-upload update system on their application portal, it seems wrong to upload the letter there (even if it's signed and on letterhead) since that would render the letter not-confidential.
I'm not sure how to proceed. It seems like a really nice opportunity for my "updates" to be accompanied by a supporting LOR, but I also don't want to do anything that's not kosher.
Has anyone done this before?
