<p>How many and what kind of recomendations would I need to send when I want to apply (next year)? The website says you need a counselor/teacher rec but it doesn't say exactly how many. I have a feeling it's not just one rec either. Can anyone let me know how many recommendations you would recommend to send?</p>
<p>I remember the USC representative saying that only one recommendation from a teacher is needed. Another rec can be from a sports coach, the manager of the place you work at, etc. So generally, you need a minimum of two recs: one from your counselor, one from a teacher. I'd advise you send three though.</p>
<p>You only need 2 but D sent 3 because she thought USC is like the rest of her colleges. It did not hurt, might have help, her stats are not amazing, but she got in very early.</p>
<p>You only need to send one, and it can be from a counselor OR a teacher.</p>
<p>War Chant is right. I only sent a counselor rec and got in and am waiting to hear if I got Trustee.</p>
<p>I thought you need one from the counselor and one from the teacher. D sent 2 from her teachers and 1 from counselor.</p>
<p>Thanks! I guess you technically only need to send one but I've seen that most people are sending 2 or 3. :)</p>
