<p>just wanted to know,apart from the 2 tecaher evaluation forms of the common app,can we send other teacher recos too?if yes,how many?
can we also send recs from other people like from community service et al-assuming they know me really well.</p>
<p>Try to hold back on the extra recs unless they are very special and express something important that cannot come across in your other letters. One extra letter from a drama teacher, community service supervisor, or the like is appropriate if they know you very well and can say something unusual about you that your teachers cannot say (i.e., "Jane is the most talented and dedicated intern I've had in my twenty years as director of volunteers at Memorial Hospital; she stands out from all the rest because she has A, B, and C personal qualities...").</p>
<p>In contrast, it does not help your application to have five teachers, instead of just two, saying the same thing about what a great student you are. Each additional essay, recommendation, or work submission should tell them something new about you, not just reinforce a message that's expressed elsewhere.</p>
