<p>I'm applying to Boston University and Northeastern University and on their websites it does not say that only one teacher recommendation is allowed. I want to send them two teacher recommendations but it will only allow me to add one. Does anyone know how to add another one?</p>
<p>commonapp.org won't let you, period, but you could have the teacher mail in the extra recommendation. This is what geek_son did; he couldn't decide among a handful of teachers, so he printed paper forms for all of them and asked them to give the completed forms to the GC for inclusion with his SSR and transcript. Mission accomplished.</p>
<p>Just make sure that the extra recommendation actually adds something to your profile; if you're asking the adcoms to spend more time read an extra document, it should be something that shows another dimension of your amazingness.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>So, I actually have 3 teacher recommendations to choose from.</p>
<p>Two of them are done over the internet, and one has already been sent via snailmail.</p>
<p>If I happen to select on commonapp.org the two internet as the ones for X school, then what happens when they receive all 3 recs? Do they read all 3 or do they pick the 2 I selected?</p>
<p>Most admissions committees (for selective schools) will read everything you send. That's why it's important to make sure that what you send really adds to your application packaging, rather than just repeating other stuff in your application. But yes, they will read all three letters.</p>
<p>OH REALLY? THat's fantastic! I'm talking about schools like Stanford, Duke, Penn, etc. </p>
<p>So HAPPY. I spent hours debating whether to choose one or the other lol.</p>
<p>But uh, could recommendations possibly hurt you? Like if you send one from one teacher who writes them for 15 students who apply to the same school, will the adcom take those same letters and compare them side-by-side?</p>
