How many recs does USC want, and are there specific forms for them?

<p>I have been browsing their site, but can't seem to find anything.</p>

<p>If I remember correctly I think you only need one.</p>

<p>are there specific forms?</p>

<p>Is this for a transfer? You are not required letters of rec for transfer but it probably helps. There is no special form of any sort. As for non-transfer admission, I’m not sure…</p>

<p>Nah, this is for freshman admission</p>

<p>For Freshman Admission, one Counselor/Teacher Report is required. You can submit more than one but only do so if it the additional recs are excellent. </p>

<p>You must submit Form 4- the Counselor/Teacher Report. It is available to print out when you apply online. The downloaded version of the paper application will be available at the end of August. A separate letter of recommendation may be sent by the Counselor/Teacher.</p>

<p>Yeah you can submit more than one, but a rep from USC (I went to their Half-Day thing) said nothing extreme like five lol.</p>

<p>Would you guys recommend sending more than one, or do you think that one would cut it?</p>

<p>There is the old adage, “The thicker [dumber/lower quality] the student, the thicker the file,” which was repeated often by the college counselor at our kids’ HS. </p>

<p>I really don’t think schools want to hear multiple things that sound similar. If there is some unique perspective that needs more than one rec, I suppose it would be helpful but adcoms are very busy and don’t appreciate getting a TON of stuff that all says the same thing.</p>
