Recommendations question.

<p>Just to clear things up, if the honors program we apply to only requires 1 recommendation, and we end up sending more than 1, ALL will be considered?</p>

<p>I'm asking because I might end up having 3 recommendations sent in for Plan II. It's the last part of my app that I need to be sent in to be considered, and I've been asking my teacher to send it in since December, but no luck yet. So I asked another teacher at the end of December, but he hasn't done it yet either. So I'm thinking I'll just ask my counselor to do it, because she sends out recs within a week though they aren't as good. But by Feb 1, all 3 might be sent in, with the other two possibly being better.</p>

<p>Yes, they will read everything. If you feel that the two teachers you asked will have a better insight into you both as a student and person, then they will provide a better insight (and help moreso) than you counselor.</p>

<p>Each teacher will probably have different insights into you outside and inside the classroom. So to answer your question: yes, they'll read it all.</p>

<p>haha thanks.
Yeah, I know for a fact that the two teachers have previously written me excellent recommendations for my other schools because they let me read them.
So hopefully, if those don't get there quickly enough, my counselor rec will suffice.</p>

<p>Good luck :-)</p>
