<p>For example: If a college doesn't require any letter of recommendation but allows up to three, would it hurt if I sent all three recommendations?
Or should I just send the required amount for each school?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance to those who answer this question!</p>
<p>You should not overload with those letters. If they don’t require any, sending 3 is excessive unless you are truly amazing and have some kind of special experience with a research professor or something. I think it will look bad to have 3 regular letters, because it is not appropriate. At most send two.</p>
<p>So should I just stick to the required number? Or is sending one more than the required amount okay</p>
<p>Follow the instruction. Don’t send in more than allowed.</p>
<p>By allowed do you mean required?</p>
<p>“If a college doesn’t require any letter of recommendation” then you send ZERO. MOst colleges require zero.</p>
