<p>How many reccomendations do you usually need for college? I asked two teachers plus my guidance counsler but most of the schools I'm looking at say they only want one plus the counsler reccomendation. Am I allowed to choose which teacher rec goes to which college? One of the teachers that I asked knows me much better than the other teacher, so I would rather that rec go out but do I have any control over this situation?</p>
<p>Yes, you have control over the situation. You tell your teachers what schools the recs are for, and those are the only ones they send them to.</p>
<p>If the teachers are doing hard copies, you give them a list of which colleges to send the recs to. So the one who knows you better will have a longer list and the other will have a shorter one. Don’t forget to also tell them when the rec is due and include an addressed envelope for each school. This isn’t hard, but there are a lot of little details to this part!</p>
