<p>It is known that we need to submit two recommendations from teachers. I have already chosen the first to be made by my junior/senior English teacher. The second one - I really want my teacher from seventh grade to recommend me. He was the one who has taught me the most, and I am in frequent contact with him.</p>
<p>However after discussing with the counselor, she said that I shouldn't send any recommendations from middle school. </p>
<p>Upon reading it, I could only glow with pride for I have never read anything that has praised me to this extent.</p>
<p>What should I do? Should I include the recommendation he wrote for me so you guys can read it? (Btw, he is a Stanford graduate.)</p>
<p>Thanks!! =D</p>

you can, though i doubt that'll help in the admissions process. :D</p>
<p>but really, i think 7th grade is too far back to be writing. my suggestion is that you get a recent rec, but include Mr Stanford graduate as a supplement rec.</p>
<p>Thanks banedon17</p>
<p>So does this mean I send in three recommendations? Two from high school teachers and the third as a supplement recommendation? Okay... hey I think my problem is solved. =D</p>
<p>Muchas gracias!</p>
<p>yes, two REQUIRED recs and one SUPPLEMENT rec. make sure to mark that envelope as SUPPLEMENT.</p>
<p>glad to help. :)</p>
<p>If you're applying to Stanford, especially make sure his rec is sent in - a good impression from alumni never hurt an app (unless the applicant sent in a few dozen recs).</p>
<p>Is certainly fine to have a supplemental recommendation from someone who has known you for a long time and still knows you well. It should be a 3rd recommendation and labelled as supplemental and NOT a replacement for one of the recommendations which should come from a teacher in your junior or senior years. You should NOT submit a recommendation from someone who doesn't know you extremely well just because they are an alum.</p>
