<p>i was always under the impression that one was needed, but some at my school are thinking about 2-3 recs. ie. 1 from a teacher, 1 from an alumni or teacher.</p>
<p>They only ask for one and I only sent one.</p>
<p>yeah they only want one</p>
<p>My school wouldn't let me send less than three. Two teachers and a guidance counselor.</p>
<p>One of the admissions counselors specifically told students at my school that they ask for one recommendation because they only want one recommendation. However, he did say that it would be alright to send a second one from someone other than a teacher, such as a coach or someone from the community.</p>
<p>I sent my counselor rec and two teacher recs. I don't think it will hurt. The most they'll do is not read it.</p>
<p>Whoops just kidding. I only sent one to UNC.</p>
