<p>On CommonApp, it is written that we can submit up to three letters of recommendation. The website claims that we are allowed to send in an optional teacher evaluation. Can someone clarify how many letters of recs we are allowed to submit? Thanks!</p>

<p>I can tell you how our son (ED acceptance) completed this portion. He submitted 3 teachers recommendations.

  1. Science teach
    2.German teach
    3.Student Advisor(not to be confused w/the guidance counselor)
    Also, I believe your guidance counselor will be sending in a rec. He contacted each teach to ask if they would prepare a recommendation , printed and handed out the forms w/ a stamped envelope addressed to W&M admissions and followed up to make sure they were ,in fact, mailed by the due date. Good Luck!</p>

<p>W&M only requires a letter of recommendation from your guidance counselor. Additional letters are optional. If you choose to send additional letters we make these recommendations:</p>

<p>1) Send a rec from a teacher of an academic subject
2) Send only one, maximum two additional letters</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
