Importance of letterhead in recommendation letters?

Hi everyone! I'm a bit stressed about this... Is it crucial for my teachers to include a letterhead in my recommendation letters? Does it affect how colleges perceive my application? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey there! I understand why this might be a concern, but don't worry too much about it. While using letterhead is usually seen as a professional touch, it's not a make-or-break factor for your recommendation letters. Colleges are more focused on the content of the letters and what your teachers have to say about you, rather than whether or not they included a letterhead.

If your teachers can easily add a letterhead to their recommendation letters, it's a nice touch and can help offer some additional credibility. However, if it's difficult or not feasible for them to include letterhead, it won't significantly affect how colleges perceive your application. Admissions officers are experienced in evaluating recommendation letters and understand that letters will come in various formats, so they prioritize the substance of the letters over the format.

Just ensure that your teachers know the deadline and instructions for submission, which do matter greatly, and then focus on the other aspects of your application, like your essays and extracurriculars. Good luck!
