Teacher Recommendation Dilemma

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I have two really great social studies teachers that I really love, but since I'm probably going to go into a science field I can only ask one of them for the common app. Would it be worthwhile to ask the other for a supplement? (Both of them know me really well and will write great recs) I don't want to offend either one by not asking one of them, but I don't know exactly how much more it will add to my application... don't colleges hate extra paperwork?</p>

<p>Help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)</p>

<p>I don't think you'll offend anyone...</p>

<p>If they are going to say the same thing in a rec, then just ask one. They wouldn't mind.</p>

<p>Why not ask one to recommend you to some of your colleges, and the other to recommend you to the others?</p>

<p>it's not like you're required to ask them right? you'll prob. save them a lot of time by not asking anyway.</p>

<p>AT thios time of year, the teacher you don't ask may thank you. And I wouldn't send in an additional receommendation. Schools don't get off on additional recs above and beyond what is required.</p>
