number of teacher recs to get

<p>Is one teacher recommendation (from a humanities teacher) all I need, or do they want/need two? Does having two increase chances?</p>

<p>Their site DOES seem to imply one is okay. However:</p>

<p>This is confusing to me too.
Their website clearly says "Teacher Recommendation", no s. I'm wondering if the second recommendation the Common App lists is for the Counselor Recommendation, which is also listed on their website (but not on the Common App list)?</p>

<p>Does anyone know for sure?</p>

<p>I emailed the admissions office and they told me to follow the Carnegie Mellon website in any case where there are conflicting directions. So one recommendation it is.</p>

<p>I also e-mailed the admissions office and they told me that they require two recommendations, but accept up to four.</p>
