Would sending an extra rec increase or decrease my chances

<p>I am applying as a transfer applicant to some top economics programs. I know that I got a fantastic recommendation from my economics professor, and a pretty good one from my honors calculus prof. </p>

<p>I am wondering if I should send an extra recommendation to each college from my twelfth grade Social Studies and European History AP teacher. I am 99% sure that she would check the "outstanding" box (top 1%) for all or most of the options and give me the best recommendation ever. This could give me the edge I need to get accepted to these competitive schools. Unfortunately, colleges don't specifically ask for a high school recommendation, or any additional recommendations to be sent. Is it worth the risk?</p>

<p>Does anyone with admissions experience or knowledge care to comment? Should I phone the universities and ask them?</p>

<p>Also, should I get her to fill out the Common App Teacher Evaluation or get her to write a letter?</p>
