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!

Who and why are you emailing?

admissions - to apologize for sending too many letters

This will not help.
