<p>Is sending two extra recommendation letters too much? One is from a coach and another is from a non-teacher. I don't want to be seen as not following directions. Does Harvard supply a limit?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>No limit. Two is fine. Optimally they should say different things about you.</p>
<p>Wow, Yale specifically said limit of one extra rec.</p>
<p>My son sent in two supplemental recs. They were fairly similar in that they both talked about computer programming work he'd done. One was from a chemistry professor he'd done some unpaid work for, the other was from his boss at a firm where he'd done freelance programming. Since he hadn't done a computer programming course at his high school since he was a freshman, they were a way to show how far he'd gone beyond what you learn in AP Comp Sci. and also that he was able to play (or work) with others - which was less obvious from his school experiences. The main thing is that supplementary materials should add to the information in your application, not just repeat it.</p>
