I need help regarding letters of recommendation!

<p>I have 3-4 teachers in mind to ask for a letter of rec, and a bunch of questions about this. Any and all help would be appreciated! (I've already Googled and searched and gone on the Common App website, and I haven't been successful in finding the info that I'm looking for...)</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is it possible/okay to invite more than 2 teachers to write a letter of recommendation on the Common Application? (And I'm not referring to the optional additional letters of rec, I'm talking about the main required letters of rec).</p></li>
<li><p>If the answer to #1 is yes, is it possible to send different letters of recommendation to different schools? For instance, would I be able to send the letters of rec from teachers A and B to school 1, but the ones from teachers B and C to school 2, and so on?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Hi!</p>

<ol>
<li><p>What I know is that you can- it is okay to have more than 2 teachers write for the letters of recommendation. It is in your own discretion, though. Colleges do not recommend nor disallow more than two.</p></li>
<li><p>I am not sure about this. Nonetheless, there are two online application websites: the Universal College Application and the Common Application, so you can sort your profiles for different schools you want to apply. And I think you can create new accounts, so you can sort your application the way you want.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>But, I checked common application last night and from how it gives you the option to choose which prospective colleges you want to edit your application on, I think you can choose which letters will be seen by which schools.</p>

<p>Yes you can invite more than 2 teachers to write you recommendations for the common app and yes you can assign different teachers for different schools when you go to fill in that section.</p>

<p>Once their recs are in the common app then you can select the names you want for each school and that teacher’s rec will be the one sent. </p>

<p>Some schools will let you assign more than 2 and they tell you so when you are on that page so you might be able to use more than 2.</p>

<p>Thanks for your replies! That was just what I needed, much appreciated.</p>
