<p>I was wondering if anyone can tell me whom I am allowed to get a letter of recommendation from. Also, would the extra ones help? How many are required for UofM Ann Arbor? I am thinking about getting letters of recommendation from my APES teacher/ NHS Advisor, counselor, an orthopedic surgeon who is giving me some opportunities to watch a surgery and what not, and my manager at a clinc I volunteer at. All these people now me pretty well. Would this be considered too much?</p>

<p>Many colleges ask for a teacher (or two) and your HS GC. But this varies, so you need to read the college website for each school.</p>

</p>
<p>I generally recommend at most one extra beyond the required LORs. But check the college websites, some say not to send any extras.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Again, check the college website, UMichigan states very clearly how many they require.</p>

<p>Yes, way too much. Take a few minutes and consider how many applications and LORs adcoms must read each year, my guess is that they appreciate candidates who follow the guidelines they’ve set out.</p>
