Hi, so I’m currently setting up my list of where my recommendations are being sent to colleges. My question is do any of you know the minimum and maximum requirements when it comes to letters of recommendations for both SUNY Geneseo and Northeastern? I went on their websites, I couldn’t find clear enough statements for SUNY and I want to make sure I know the maximum amount for Northeastern.
Thank you.
According to the common app, Northeastern requires 1 counselor, 1 teacher (with 1 more optional) and 1 optional other (coach, employer etc.). Geneseo requires counselor, 1 teacher plus you can add 3 optional teacher and 3 optional other recommenders. If you log onto the common app, you will be able to see what each school requires. Good Luck!
OP - Less is more. IMO, having extra materials above what is required dilutes your application.
Thank you @xyz123a and @momofsenior1 . I’m only going to submit 1 optional teacher to Geneseo, but keep the required material for northeastern without adding extra.
