Too many LORs

[warmsoup]

I accidentally sent too many LOR's to a few of my schools. What do I do? Will they just throw out my application?

I had a student one year this happened to. The school reached out and asked them to specify which they should read.

I also think some schools will just read the first X and not ask.

Some may read them all.

Can you explain how you accidentally sent too many letters? 🙂

No, most adcoms won't reject your application because you had too many letters.

thank you! I will email. Should I email after primaries are sent out on the 30th?

Who and why are you emailing?

If they are otherwise interested, they will overlook it (to some degree).
I can't recommend contacting them to point this out, though.

Thanks for posting this, so others are forewarned!

admissions - to apologize for sending too many letters

This will not help.
