<p>If I send three teacher recommendations as opposed to the required two, is this OK?<br>
Will this negatively impact the image of my application?</p>
<p>(applying to CAS Econ)</p>
<p>I have the same question, actually.</p>
<p>My D sent three & was accepted.</p>
<p>I’m not sure on whether I will send 2 teacher + employer or 3 + employer.</p>
<p>At the cornell information session i went to this summer, the guy said that Cornell accepts a maximum of 4 recommendations I believe.</p>
<p>He said they had 1 kid who sent 18 recommendations hahah. But he said that kid was rejected, but didnt say if it was because of those recommendations or test scores, gpa, etc.</p>
<p>Side note- I’m sending 2 teacher recommendations and 1 employer.</p>
<p>This is from the freshmen admission booklet (pdf) available on Cornell’s website.
</p>
<p>That being said, I might send three… but I’m still not sure.</p>
<p>18 recs??? That kid had some connecions!</p>
<p>I was just wondering…how is it two? Two teacher recs or one teacher rec and one counselor rec?
If it’s just 2 teacher recs…do we not need a counselor rec? Confused…</p>
<p>I think the common app. specifies that one rec. must be from GC? My D had one from GC, one from Psych teacher, one from Cornell alumni.</p>
<p>The guidance rec is a given. When colleges mention how many letters they are referring to your teacher recs. So if Cornell says 2 then they want 2 teacher recs and 1 guidance.</p>
<p>I sent in three recs from teachers and it was fine.
The guidance rec was a separate rec that was required.</p>
