Number Recommendation Letters?

<p>Hi! For most of the colleges they all require 2 recommendation letters, but on the common app it has an option for a third... is this for the counselor recommendation, or are you able to send three teacher letters?</p>

<p>you need to check each school’s website or ask their admissions people. Some schools only want one. Others require two. Some absolutely do not want a third.</p>

<p>Once you add the school to your dashboard in the common app, go to the invite recommenders section and look at the drop down list for the optional recommendation. It will show you whether you can add teachers, counselors or “other” recommenders. Based on that, you can decide whom to invite.</p>
