<p>I'm still a sophomore, but I'm sorta curious about teacher/counselor recommendations...
How many do you need? or how many are you allowed to have?</p>
<p>the University of California’s do not require any recommendation at all, there are just too many applicants so they don’t have time to read through everyone of them …</p>
<p>What about Ivy’s and Stanford?</p>
<p>most colleges require two from teachers and one from a counselor… though some let you send 3-4 … but two are required at most colleges.</p>
<p>Every college has a list of application requirements on its website, so you can check out particular schools individually. Their websites are also helpful because they’ll give you a thumbnail view of what they are looking for in a student - how many years of math, what GPA, etc.</p>
<p>Two from teachers, one from counselor. One extra-only if you wish. :)</p>
