Giving the recommendations to teachers

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

<p>I have two teachers that will be great for recommending me to RPI: one is a AP Physics teacher and the other is a technical/engineering teacher. Should I give an Academic Recommendation for both of them, one of them, or both of them and my counselor (could that be too much?)</p>

<p>For your convenience, I listed the possible sent recommendations (excluding 'no rec'):
Technical/Engineering Teacher only
Physics Teacher only
Tech/Engie Teacher AND Physics Teacher
Tech/Engie Teacher, Physics Teacher, AND Counselor</p>

<p>And just to be sure: the Academic Recommendation is the letter of recommendations sent by teachers/faculty to the school, correct?</p>

<p>My son sent three, one from GC and two teachers. We didn’t think it was too much, and since he was accepted, apparently neither did they :wink: And yes, you are correct about the recs.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info, RunsWScissors!</p>

<p>Just FYI, the RPI Common app allows for 3 teacher recs, the counselor rec, and 3 “Other Recommenders”. DS will submit 3 teacher recs and the counselor rec.</p>

<p>If you can get two strong teacher recs and a strong GC rec, I think you should submit all of them. I sent in the same number of recs and was accepted.</p>
