<p>ok so i gave all my teachers the three tabs recs the guidance/principal, the english teacher and the math one. both deerfield and hotchkiss ask for a additional teacher rec? is it optional?</p>
<p>ok sorry to clearify i am applying to more than one school and for the additional rec i want to give my teacher one that i can use for a few other schools so does anyone know if there is a common rec for an additional teacher?</p>
<p>would using deerfields current teacher rec for all 5 of the schools that im applying to be a bad idea?</p>
<p>First, there is no common rec for the additional teacher. Deerfield used to have one that didn’t say “Deerfield” on it, but It’s no longer posted. Just use Deerfield’s . . or Hotchkiss’s, if you prefer. They won’t care that it has another school’s name on it.</p>
<p>As for submitting it to everyone, we have been VERY cautious about giving schools more stuff than they want. Some schools welcome anything you want to send. Others are inundated in paperwork and do not appreciate your increasing their burden - in other words, if they wanted it, they’d have asked for it!</p>
<p>My suggestion would be to call and ask if the additional rec form is welcome. The admissions offices have been very nice about answering our family’s questions, even at this late date!</p>
