<p>These are probably answered, but i cant find it :(</p>
<p>How many teacher Recs are recommended? Since they only require 1, i only did 1.. is that ok?
In place of my 2nd teacher rec though i got an outside rec.
Totaling 3 Recs (teacher, counseler, outside).. how does that look?</p>
<p>It looks perfectly fine. I did 2 senior year teachers, and my GC. They should all be pretty good.</p>
<p>Here is an old post I made about recs...

<p>"There is a lot of confusion on this thread about Hopkins' letter of recommendation policy -- let me try to clear up some of the issues.</p>
<p>(1) Hopkins requires two letters of recommendation. One must be from your guidance or college counselor. The other must be from a teacher.</p>
<p>(2) Hopkins does accept additional letters of recommendation from any source, but request that an applicant not submit any more than a total of 4 letters.</p>
<p>(3) In cases where a student's relationship is not strong with their guidance counselor, they would be encouraged to submit additional letters of recommendation from teachers or other school administrators. However, the counselor letter is still REQUIRED. "axelson" I am not sure where your counselor got her information, but JHU does require counselor recommendations even in cases where their is little knowledge of the applicant. </p>
<p>(4) In selecting your teacher recommendation, the adcoms strongly encourage that the teacher be a junior or senior year teacher. If selecting a freshman or sophomore year teacher, it should only be an additional letter of recommendation.</p>
<p>(5) If you choose to submit the additional 2 letters of rec. they can be from additional teachers, extracurricular advisors, coaches, bosses, college professors, etc. - anyone you want except friends and parents.</p>
<p>Hope this helps."</p>
<p>uh-oh......
"(4) In selecting your teacher recommendation, the adcoms strongly encourage that the teacher be a junior or senior year teacher. If selecting a freshman or sophomore year teacher, it should only be an additional letter of recommendation."</p>
<p>will it be frowned upon if I had submitted a sophmore english teacher with whom I had kept in good relation as one of the main teacher recs?? =/</p>
<p>it won't be "frowned upon" but you may want to consider a second teacher recommendation from someone in your junior or senior year. Those years are much more important for the adcoms when they review your files.</p>
<p>Is more than two okay?
Other than my guidance counselor, I have 5 teachers willing to give me recommendation letters...</p>
<p>How many can I send before the college gets sick of them??</p>
<p>already answered -- see above...</p>
