Hello!
Is there a good format you can suggest to use to let AdComs know names have been changed in my PS? I am a teacher and I reference a student and a colleague but I of course use pseudonyms. Should I put something at the top of the page or bottom? Add an asterisk next to the names?
Thanks!

I visited Columbia this past week and another prospective student asked a similar question. The admissions rep said then that at least one academic letter was needed and two would be preferred but a professional LoR from those out of school for a bit was acceptable. He stressed to have LoR from people who know you well and can speak to your qualifications, so I think you should submit!
I think I will just include a footnote. My writing style is fairly immersive when I introduce the child and colleague so I don't want to do anything that would be distracting or remove the reader too much from the story. Thanks guys!
