As title. Is it worth it to ask my recommender to send in an additional letter to a school I was waitlisted at? I reapplied this cycle and used the same letter as the last cycle, so I do think there could be additional information that the recommender can provide. Or should I contact the school first to ask if they accept an additional letter of recommendation from the same recommender?

Curious to know what you all think the rising econ departments are. I personally think placements are more important than rankings themselves, especially for those wishing to go into academia. I was surprised to find that higher rankings don't necessarily mean better placements. So what do you think are some strong/rising econ departments based on their placements?
