3 Letters of Recommendation or 4?

Graduate School
1

<p>Most programs I am looking at require 3 LORs. I could find two professors who could write me decent recommendations and one professors who I had one class with and is basically writing a character reference.</p>

<p>To try and compensate for one weak academic reference, I have a professional contact, a principal in the school I work at right now, who is willing to write LORs for me.</p>

<p>Is it worth it to submit 4 LORs, even though programs ask for only 3? Will that hurt me in any way?</p>

<p>The application for Georgetown University won't even let me submit more than 3 people, which worries me a little bit.</p>

<p>Also, I’m looking at Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition programs, if that helps narrow down an answer.</p>

<p>When I’m hastily writing posts on the internet, I always forget stuff like that. I also forget to edit for grammar mistakes and clarity…oops.</p>

<p>Bumping because I am really worried about this.</p>
