<p>I have talked to two professors who are willing to write me letter of recommendations, but i also think that another professor would write me a good one. Usually I would submit the 2 primary rec's and then after I have applied send in the third, but I don't want my third professor to think that I am asking him as 'additional'. If I asked all three professors and had three LOR's sent in when only two are required, will one immediately get considered additional? or should i specify? any advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p>The prof wont know if his letter is additional or the primary so don't worry about offending him/her. The admin will consider them all equally. I applied to two schools as a transfer. One asked for none and the other asked for just one. I sent three to Each of them and so far i got into the one that requires none. So it wasn't held against me and from my understanding they are all regarded equally in the admin process. It is not like if one is worse they are going to go off of that just to see your flaws. knw what i mean</p>
<p>I think they put a limit on so that way they dn't get an exorbitant amount of letters from one kid.</p>
<p>Yeah, the third guy won't know - if they are all going to be good letters, go for it! I'll disagree with snwrider2007 a little and say the only danger would be that you get two great ones and then a third (that you don't really need) that is "only OK," just to try to bump your count from two to three.</p>
<p>MrWretch - yeah, I was wondering about that but I'm pretty sure I can get 3 solid recs and then a letter of rec from my boss this last summer as well.</p>
<p>Thanks for your thoughts everyone.</p>
