<p>I'm a junior but I've been looking at the JHU site and it says that there is a requirement for 2 recommendations; 1 from a teacher and 1 from a counselor. However I've been interning with my US senator and I received a letter of recommendation from him. Would I be able to include this letter? How would it be looked at in regard to the teacher/counselor letter; which is more important?
Thanks</p>
<p>max is 4, as long as u dont exceed it and have the required (1 teacher, 1 counselor), ur fine</p>
<p>is it bad to have 4?!?!?</p>
<p>no its not
i had 4 and i got in</p>
<p>good. cuz i sent in 4.</p>
<p>yep, dont worry about it</p>
<p>only 1 teacher's rec?? what if your using common app?</p>
<p>^ you still only need 1 teacher rec, but, as nanaijuh said, you can have up to 4 recs total.</p>
<p>official answer from the Hopkins Insider blog (<a href="http://hopkins.typepad.com/%5B/url%5D">http://hopkins.typepad.com/</a>)</p>
<p>"Does Johns Hopkins accept additional letters of recommendation?</p>
<p>We require all applicants to submit two letters of recommendations - one from a teacher and one from a guidance counselor. Applicants may submit additional letters of recommendation but we request that you do not submit more than four letters total. Additional letters of recommendation may come from a coach, employer, extracurricular advisor, additional teacher, school administrator pretty much anyone who can present additional sides of your character. I would though avoid parental and peer references."</p>
