<p>How important are the letters of recommendation? My D has glowing recs from teachers who went to USC, plus one from someone outside of school who's a USC alum and a fairly important position in our community that really plays up her personal qualities (he knows her through a professional association). Just wondering if anyone has any insight. Her stats are good, not stellar, so we're counting on her EC's and recs and essays to make up the difference. Oh also, her father is an alum.</p>
<p>How many did she send? Because you only need one, and it's recommended that you only send one unless they're really REALLY great.</p>
<p>She sent two, and they were both pretty great.</p>
