NORTHWESTERN: teacher recs

College Search & Selection

<p>1) How many teacher recs do I send?</p>

<p>2) If more than 1, can I have a diff person write me a rec. (not a teacher?)</p>

<p>I am wondering if a researcher at a local university can write mine. I have an internship under her and we work closely together. I am just not sure if this is "allowed." I only know you can do it at harvard and princeton.</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Follow the instructions on the admission application. When I applied to Northwestern, they wanted at least two teacher references. It may have increased to three now. It is best to get references from teachers who know you. It is a plus if you performed well in their courses too.</p>
