<p>I had two academic teachers write one, as required, but I'm also thinking about having my music teachers write one (either one combined letter or two separate ones)...would this be overkill/frowned upon?</p>

<p>Well, I would do it. I submitted two alumni letters (above and beyond the 2 teacher recs and counselor rec) and I was admitted. Granted, that is different than another teacher but evidently it wasn't overkill.</p>

<p>I sent an extra one from an internship.</p>

<p>I think they would love to recieve the letters as long as those were the only supplemental ones that they got (So don't send in any more except for the two teacher recs as required and the art teachers supplementals).</p>
