How Many Recs?

Applying to College
1

<p>For next year I know I need my 2 teacher recs and counselor rec. I've decided on my bio and ap us history teachers for that, and I'm expecting good recommendations from all three. However, my model un moderator offered to write me one and said she'd rave about me, i've been doing it since 9th grade and am head next year, and I think that she would have very positive and unique things to say about me. I'm also planning on submitting an art supplement (photography/design, I'm in AP), however, if I'm not mistaken I need an art teacher recommendation to go along with that. So if I did the supplement and had my moderator recommend me, that'd bring the total to 5.</p>

<p>Is that too much?</p>

<p>ANY supplemental recs should both be excellent and address something about you that the mandatory 2 teacher and GC recs do not. I would recommend sending at the most 1 additional supplement. Don’t cause adcoms to cite the adage: “The thicker the file, the thicker the applicant”.</p>
