Additional Recs

<p>I know that some schools specifically say on their website that it IS okay to send in a third rec or more. Others do not clarify on the additional rec. They only have a section on supplementary materials like a tape or slides, but also do not flat out say that they only want 1 (or 2) recs. For those type of schools, is it okay to send out that 3rd rec? I have an additional rec from my science mentor, and I would love to send that in to let colleges get a better sense of who I am. At the same time, I don't want to break any rules and perhaps hurt my chances. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>ticktock, read the thread about teacher recs. You'll find everything there. The general answer is No, unless it's really important. You should be able to convey enough about you in 2 recs.</p>
