besides the 3 recommendation letters required by the top school, we ask two more people to write recommendation and send directly to the admission office by email, which means I have 5 recommention letter. Is this good or bad? thanks!!!
It depends on who the people are that are writing the extra two. If it’s your dads friends who has known you since you were a baby, it’s not a needed or taken seriously as your say student council advisor or musical instrument teacher
