How many letters of rec for a transfer?

<p>I'm currently in the process of applying to transfer from a CC to Thornton as a Music Industry Major. My gpa is well below their average and I explain why in my essay but I also want a letter of rec to add an outside opinion on my work ethics and such. I was thinking of getting a letter of recommendation from my counselor and an academic teacher OR an employer (usc alum) who knows me well and my teacher/counselor. Would two or three be too many? Would a letter from my teacher or counselor hold more weight?</p>

<p>Any other advice on transferring to Thornton for this major would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>
