My son is submitting the required counselor and teacher recommendation. The Common App allows for a third recommendation letter. If he sent a third letter would it be looked at unfavorably or overkill? He has great relationships with his teachers, references should be excellent.
Thank you!
I know quite a few people who were admitted with more than two or three recs. Personally I did three (one from a teacher and one from a 4-H leader, plus my counselor). Obviously it’s good it use discretion and not submit 8 recs or something, but three or four isn’t going to hurt your son’s chances. Best of luck!
