+ recs?

ya, so i'm trying to apply to some scools and i'm wondering if sending 6-7 recs could give me an bonus.
im thinking of recs from my math teacher, science (chem), histroy, english, soccer coach and maybe my mom.
my stats r sadly low and i'm just wondering if more recs can b good for me? since it shows that im balanced (not just a math kid or english kdi)

They'll probably get annoyed if you send that many. I'd send at most 3, maybe 4 if they truly show different sides of you.

Most schools ask for 2 reccs from teachers and then they will say if there is anything additional you can submit others from like a boss or coach or something like that
but definitely don't send more than 4...they WILL NOT read them all
and having your mom send one would be pointless...its kinda impossible to give a non-biased view of you as a student. so it would be completely disregarded
