<p>I already have 2 teacher recs and a counselor rec on the common app and they’ve all been sent in. However, when I’m on the BU tab it still has a yellow square next to it and it says at the bottom that I can invite one more teacher.</p>
<p>They only require 1.</p>
<p>only 1, and then your counselor.</p>
<p>I believe that the difference between being deferred in the first go round, and being accepted in regular decision was an additional recommendation sent from DD’s EC. Some people say that this is annoying to admissions people, but I think that it is simply unfair to be limited to teachers who see nearly 200 students a day, and a counselor who has 500 students on her roster to write such a personal document. I am sure that this is merely a fluke that has developed since the Common App became more popular - just am surprised that noone has figured out an organized way to include outsiders in the Common App process. (Or at least they hadn’t 2 years ago). I am sure that her teachers and counselor did a great job, but the EC person had a close personal relationship with her, and wrote a lovely letter.</p>
