B.A. in Math-Econ + M.Eng. in CS. 8 YOE as a self-taught SWE and tech lead at a public tech co and HF. Perhaps the UG GPA was my issue
I was waitlisted in R1 for my dream school. The university originally only required 1 recommendation in the application. I want to add a second recommendation to strengthen my application and hopefully get out of the waitlist. Do I just upload to the portal with company letterhead, or how do I certify the letter?
