recommendations

<p>i know that JHU requires 2 essays each from a teacher and a counselor.
i dont know what i should do in a case like this: im sure that i ll get 1 great recommendation from a teacher. but im not sure if my second teacher's recommendation will be that great. in this case should i get the recommendation from only 1 teacher or should i risk getting 2 recommendations (not sure how good my 2nd rec will be).
also, even though JHU says students only need 1 teacher rec, do they prefer students with 2 or 3 good teacher recs?</p>

<p>only 2 recs are required -- one from a teacher and one from your guidance counselor. You do not need to submit any more, and those who do are not looked at more favorably. Max number of total recs. should be no more than 4.</p>
