Extra recommendation?

Applying to College
1

<p>Sorry if there's already a thread like this.</p>

<p>The schools I'm applying to require two recommendations, which I'll get from two teachers at my Swedish school. However, I was an exchange student in America two years ago, and I've been in contact with my favorite teacher there these last two years, and I'd like to have her write a recommendation for me too, both because I think she'll write a good one and because I'd like to show I did well when I lived abroad.</p>

<p>Will colleges be okay with an extra recommendation or will they think I'm trying too hard or something like that?
I'm applying to Middlebury, Macalester and Carleton.</p>

<p>One supplemental is fine as long as it's strong and brings out a different aspect of you than the required two. It sounds like a supplemental LOR from your US teacher would be a good addition to your application.</p>

<p>Thanks for replying :)</p>

<p>Would I just had another teacher to my common app school form thing? or should it be sent in separately?</p>

<p>Stick to one at most</p>

<p>One extra?</p>

<p>That would be the only supplemental one.</p>

<p>you can either attach it to your common app or have her send it separately. it might be better to do it through common app, just for ease...</p>
