<p>I was just wondering how many letters of recommendation were needed for the common app. Also, (if it is three) does it have to be two academic ones? Or would I be able to get 1 academic, 1 from my internship and another from my involvement with my city? </p>
<p>Lastly, where does it ask for the letters of rec? I can't find it. Is it in the supplement for each college?</p>
<p>Not in the supplement for the college, but for the special information (not sure of the terminology). When you add a college to your profile, there is a whole screen there asking if you’ll apply for fin. aid, what major you might have, and telling you how many recs and what kinds are expected.</p>
<p>You’ll have to check with each respective school and see what types of recommendations it requires. Most selective colleges ask for 2 letters of rec from 2 teachers who have taught you in academic subjects (English, math, science, history, foreign language).</p>
