<p>I'm a homeschooled applicant who will be applying for the fall of 2011, and because of my particular situation, I am perplexed about what I am supposed to do about the Teacher Evaluation forms (Evaluation A & B). I also possess a letter that commends me for my winning of a state-level competition and a number of others that commend me for my many community service projects. Could I submit these with my application in addition to other letters of recommendation from my extracurricular event coordinators? Responses by educated MITers would be appreciated.;)</p>

<p>“Extra recommendations can be especially helpful for many homeschooled applicants. We welcome a recommendation from a parent, but require at least three recommendations in total (usually a counselor and two teachers). We encourage you to submit additional recommendations (but don’t submit more than 5 total recommendations) from those who know you well, such as coaches, mentors, job supervisors, clergy, etc.”</p>
<p>From that, it sounds like EC coordinators can take the place of counselor/teacher recommendations, but I would ask Admissions directly.</p>
