<p>in addition to the counselor rec, many schools request 2 teacher recs. it is a good idea to send more than requested, perhaps 1 or 2 extra? I was thinking of also getting recs from EC's, summer programs, etc.</p>
<p>i am sending a supplementary rec. but, colleges ask that you only send an extra rec if it is from someone who can highlight something about you that the teachers writing your other recs can't.</p>
<p>If the third rec can highlight a different facet of your performance/personality, then do it. If it is similar to the other two recs, then don't send.</p>
