<p>So I'm currently filling out the Common App and all of my schools require at least 1 teacher recommendation. So I asked 2 of my teachers to write letters of rec for me. For the schools that require 2 teacher recommendations, it was no problem. But the problem is with the colleges that are flexible in how many recs they receive. I heard from somewhere that if a school required 1 teacher rec but allowed for up to 3 to be sent in, it's not recommended to send more than what they require (such as sending such school 2-3 letters of rec). Is this true? Also, where does the counselor put her letter of rec for schools that require a guidance counselor rec? Is it part of the teacher recs or is it in the counselor section?</p>
<p>That is correct, don’t send more than they “allow” or ask for. At our school the GC handled this, and we just told them which teacher letters to upload for which schools. The counselor does something called the School Report, they usually know what to do. </p>
