<p>How many is too many? Is four (two teacher, two supplemental) just too much?</p>
<p>"Don't send a bejillion letters of recommendation. We know that most of you have only lived for 17 or 18 years. We don't expect you to have a ton of experiences. I'd say more than 5-6 letters is really pushing it. Remember, we'll read everything that you send us. Don't abuse this. If I read a letter from your milkman saying that you like strawberry yogurt, I'm gonna be ****ed."</p>
<p>So basically, you are good. 4 is below the 5-6 letter limit mentioned.</p>
<p>dont think so, as long as they all show different aspects of your personality. I'm getting 4 as well. 2 teachers, 1 from boss at cornell, 1 from mit coach</p>
<p>4 is fine
the only two people from my school that got in last year both had 4 total.
they are really different though!</p>
<p>me -only 3
2 teachers, 1 robotics mentor/MIT alum, i wanted to get an art teacher one but I don't think it was too necessary since i have art in several parts of my app. the art teacher wrote the letter for me for the school reports already. so i might submit that once i get deferred.</p>
<p>Any number of recommendations is fine, as long as each recommendation showcases a different aspect of your life and personality. If you have three supplemental letters, but they all say the same thing, that's not terribly useful for you.</p>
