You might know someone who has a connection to a particular school. Instead of a letter of recommendation to all your schools, they can send a "letter of support" to the school that especially values them. A letter of support is sent entirely separately from your application. They'll just pop it in the mail or send an email. The most influential writers will be tenured professors, someone on the board of trustees, or a significant donor.
