<p>Rensselaer's website says that it requires "a letter of recommendation from a counselor or teacher. A recommendation provided by a math or science teacher is preferred."</p>
<p>Do you know if they will frown upon submitting multiple letters of recommendation? Like, two to three?</p>
<p>Two, I would think not. It isn’t really unprecedented to send in one more recommendation than asked for. I can’t answer for three, though.</p>
<p>I think your chances of acceptance are rather high regardless of how many recommendations you submit, though.</p>
<p>Haha thanks. Actually, I emailed my regional admissions officer and he wrote back:</p>
<p>
Hm. Alright. Well, the reason I was worried was because the two teachers I planned on using for all of my schools were my French and English teachers, and RPI suggests a math/science one. But one of my other schools requires a math/science teacher, so I guess this is gonna get more complicated no matter what, lol. </p>
<p>But if anyone has a similar question regarding a different school, note that this is just RPI’s policy. Other schools on my list that require one rec, when I checked their websites, said things like “at least one” or “letter(s) of recommendation,” suggesting that they didn’t mind extras. RPI was the only one that I contacted, as their website didn’t say anything suggesting that more than one was okay.</p>
<p>Just ask a math/science teacher to write a recommendation for you as well, and only send it to the schools that you need to send it to (RPI, and I’m guessing, Case Western).</p>
<p>Do not send in more than the ask for, especially if they are explicitly limiting it. You will be fine with only one, especially considering your legacy status and SAT score.</p>
