Does UVA require TEacher/Counserlor Recs?

<p>If so, how many?</p>

<p>go read the admissions website.</p>

<p>aka yes. i can't remember if it says how many for teachers, but most schools don't really want more than two or three. They just ask for one from your counselor</p>

<p>Think it's two teacher and one counselor. But yes, go read the application.</p>

<p>One required. Supplements are common. </p>

<p>The goal is to give us an accurate picture of what you're like as a student. If you think you need 2 or 3 additional recommendations to give us that, so be it. Recs can be from teachers, advisors, club moderators, coaches, bosses, etc. </p>

<p>Anyone care to guess what the record number of supplemental recs for one student was?</p>

<p>er... 10 recs?</p>

<p>Not even close. Try higher.</p>

<p>maybe.....75?</p>

<p>105.........</p>

<p>52?...........</p>

<p>My daughter was out of state, submitted one nice letter from a teacher and the counselor rec, and was fortunate enough to get in. Unfortunately, no financial aid at all; I don't know if the additional recs would have helped in that regard.</p>

<p>What? Recommendations would do nothing to help for financial aid.</p>

<p>37</p>

<p>The aid process is done by the Office of Financial Services. They see your FAFSA, UFA and supporting tax documents. Applications are not shared with Financial Services.</p>

<p>Oh dang o.o
Did it help him?</p>

<p>I hope you rejected him. Was he a borderline applicant?</p>

<p>lol, they must have been pretty desperate or they just had misconceptions of the application process, the latter which I could see happening</p>

<p>The guy with 37 recommendations did not get in. Dean Gregory told me this story two years ago.</p>

Ding! Ding! I'm pretty sure we all talk about the 37 recs when anxious people start second guessing the number of letters they've solicited.</p>
