Northwestern's stance on extra recs?

<p>I had two academic teachers write one, as required, but I'm also thinking about having my music teachers write one (either one combined letter or two separate ones)...would this be overkill/frowned upon?</p>

<p>Not at all. I sent in 4 recs total (2 teachers, guidance counselor, and a theatre rec) and I got in ED. You should be fine.</p>

<p>I sent four as well, and got in RD.</p>

<p>I'm sending in 4 as well (2 teacher, GC, Band Director). I included my band rec because it is required with the common app arts supplement.</p>

<p>I don't think that too much emphasis is placed on recs. I only sent in one from a teacher and was accepted ED.</p>

<p>So who knows?</p>
