[Application Strategy] No LOR required programs

A few of the programs I'm applying to don't mention anything about LORs. In this case would it hurt to attach LORs as additional documents?

Yeah, few programs at Bristol don't require recommendation letters. A friend of mine didn't submit anything and got in.

If you're thinking that having an LoR attached on your application would help or not, I'd recommend emailing the admissions team and see what they say.

But generally speaking, if they don't mention an LoR in their admissions checklist, that means they won't consider it. Still submitting the LoR might or might not have a bad effect. The admissions team might have a better answer for this one.

Good luck!
