# of rec letters

<p>how many recs are you guys sending? the application only has 1 for counselor and 1 for a teacher, but i want to send 2 teacher recommendations. is this okay?</p>

<p>im sending two,, just because</p>

<p>I think I want to send 2 also.</p>

<p>Well................</p>

<p>When dad and I attended the information session on campus last spring, the admissions officers specifically told us to only send them the number of recs that they asked for-- they said they looked down on students who sent more than that. You can send supplemental materials and such, but from what I understand I would only recommend sending one teacher recommendation.</p>

<p>haha, oops. I sent 2. Oh well :)</p>

<p>I sent in two teacher ones last year and I got in ED. Personally I don't think that they look down on it. On the website and stuff they say that they will consider whatever supplemental material that you send. I actually think that the extra rec helped me because it was sooooooo amazing.</p>

<p>i sent in 5 including GC... and got in.. so more is fine...</p>

<p>My son sent in three, plus his school's college counselor's general letter, because each one was so different and he was told by his school to send as many as he needed to reflect his different abilities. He sent a math, English and piano teacher's. He got in and is a very very happy sophomore</p>

<p>At any information session I was told to send two recs if I felt like doing so.</p>
