<p>I know that my ECs are week but being on a varsity sport on my school does not allow you much time for many other ECs</p>

<p>We only need one teacher rec and one counselor rec right?</p>

<p>@nyu427 yes. But I’ve emailed my regional counselor and he said they will accept 2 teacher recs and one counselor rec as well.</p>

<p>They will only accept 2 teacher recs and 1 counselor rec!!! I was gonna submit 1 counselor, 1 teacher from my highschool, and 2 recs from my professors from the courses I took at NYU… is that too much!!!</p>

<p>i’m applying ED1 as well!! so nerve-wracking :frowning: good luck to everyone, though!</p>

<p>edit: could anyone chance me, perhaps? I’m applying to the College of Arts and Science and I definitely want to major in Journalism.</p>

<p>I’m also pretty sure I’m going to have great teacher recommendations since I asked teachers who really love me to write them. I haven’t started my NYU supplement essays yet, but I think my common app essay is strong! (I have to get it reviewed by my guidance counselor/English teacher, though)</p>

<p>thanks so much!!</p>

<p>@dwarnock95 Yes, that is too much. They will only read up to 3 recs in total, one of which must be from your teacher, one from your counselor, and then another.</p>

<p>Just submitted my application yesterday! The waiting game begins…</p>

<p>ok well I’ll just submit all 4… worst case scenario they only read 3 of the 4</p>

<p>Ok so I submitted my application, and forgot to include my mom’s maiden name under the section that asks for former last name. Does anyone know if this is going to be a problem???</p>

<p>So we are REQUIRED to have a counselor’s rec as well? x_x I am planning on asking two teachers already, and thought that a counselor’s rec was just optional.</p>

<p>I still have to take the October SAT before submitting my application… cannot handle all this stress right now!</p>

<p>It might be optional, but I thought they wanted one from an administrator if a counselor wasn’t available. I know they will accept up to 3. No more than that. </p>

<p>Anyone know about forgetting to put my mother’s former last name on the common app???</p>

<p>@HelloParis… I don’t think you have to wait until the results of the October SAT to submit your application. I think you can submit it when you’re done and then submit the scores when you have them… I might be wrong but I don’t think everything has to be submitted at the same time… as long as everything is in by November 1st I think you should be ok.</p>

<p>@helloparis will your scores for the Oct SAT be available in time? I went to an information session recently and was told that the scores would not be able to be processed, sent, and put on file to meet the Nov. 1 deadline if you took the Oct test. Might want to double check on that, but that’s what I was told.</p>

<p>Still, anyone have an answer to my question? I’m beginning to panic.</p>

<p>@Correkid I have no idea. Usually, it takes around three weeks for a SAT score to be released. The date of my test is Oct 6th, so I am predicting that it will be out by Saturday, October 27th. Maybe I will look further into what @dwarnock95 said and see if I can submit the SAT separately when I have the score, but have the rest of my application done. </p>

<p>And I think you are fine without your mother’s maiden name. I don’t think it is THAT important into deciding whether you get accepted or not.</p>

<p>i am sending my letter of recs via mail from my teahcers…what is the address i send them to?</p>

<p>If you go to the collegeboard web site you will see that The 10/6 test scores are released on 10/25. That is when they are electronically sent to the school(s) of your choice s long as you selected them in advance.</p>

<p>@aanderson67 Wow, thank-you! Very helpful. I’ll have to remember to have CB send my SAT score electronically to my school(s).</p>

<p>anyone out there who is in the IB program and applying ED?</p>

<p>Hi!
I was wondering if i need AP CALC in senior ? please i really need to know this?</p>
