<p>THANK YOU AdOfficer. I just found this thread and really appreciate your advice. We are international and there are not much reliable information out there. I know different schools have different rules but just like to have your opinion.</p>
<p>My son is a junior and is already planning on which two teachers to select for the rec. letters. He is taking Latin indepently outside school(his school does not have Latin). We live in a country where people are not familiar with Latin. But was fortunate to find a teacher. this teacher, actually a professor comes to our home to teach. In my country there is only one or two universities where they have just few professors that can teach Latin and my son being a HS student is not allowed to take a course in the Unvi. So the professor comes to our home to teach. This professor is amazed with the work my son is doing. The prof. probably had a big influence over my son since he is interested in studing Latin in college. Now my question is,</p>
<p>most colleges ask for two HS teachers rec. and one HS counselor rec. I was wondering if he could get one by this prof. and another one from his HS school teacher? He will get probably a great rec from his HS teachers but he believes one from this prof will be amazing. He is planning on having 2 more supplementary rec. from other areas. Is it ok to have this prof. write one of the teachers rec? many people I have asked have different point of view. We just dont want to burden the adcom with so many rec</p>
<p>So it will be like this
1. HS teacher( calculus Ap)
2 Latin prof.(as one of teachers rec)
3 HS counselor
4. Supplement from volunteer advisor
5. " " " a Professor he interned with for several summers </p>
<p>But some colleges have teachers rec forms that asks specifically "how he compares and interact with other students and teachers" would it be ok to leave that part omitted by this latin prof. with some explanation because the 2nd teacher's rec from his HS teacher will have his. or do you think I should just send all three? But everyones saying do not send more than it asks. also I am worried that this particular amazing rec could be diluted with other two HS rec if we decide to send all 3 HS rec. thank you so much for advice.</p>
