some big state schools really want recs AND mulitiple letters, so thought I'd better do some research--if getting 4 additional letters will help her pre-rush, then it would be nice to know. If those 4 additional letters will have the Illinois chapters' recruitment chairman rolling her eyes and muttering about over-achievers, even better to know!
really appreciate anyone taking the time to answer & share their Illinois experiences
and I did search, for HOURS, yesterday to try and find everything I could about recruitment at U of I on this site...and didn't find any specific Illinois threads--if I missed it, and didn't need to start something new I apologize
