If we added a new letter at this point in the cycle, would that delay or restart review at some schools?
One more LOR isn't going to move the needle, unless it was a required one that was missing. That might move the file into the queue.
No, I am complete at all schools and have the required LORs submitted. But I did hear adding another one may move back to the end of the queue.
That is exactly what you are asking for. First your application gets read and evaluated then it gets reviewed. So if you want it to have the letter considered, you have to have your file removed from complete status, have letter added, moved back in complete, and then back in review queue, which may be at the bottom of pile
By this I'm assuming you mean it differs from school to school?
Why take chances? One more LOR isn't going to make much of a difference to your chances overall. More is not better; and have mercy, because we Adcom members have to read these things.
Haha don't mean to inconvenience you all! I just think this one letter provides some pretty solid examples of leadership and service which is why I was considering it.
Yes so here are the possibilities in order of most often to least often happening.
