Hey guys. Sorry if there is already a thread on this, but do you guys have a compiled list of schools that accept 1 more letter of rec from a person who is not a teacher/counselor? My tennis coach is the brother of the leader of the band Hiroshima, and he knows me very well so it will help my app.
The other question is that if I am applying as an Engineer/Comp Sci major, do I need 1 math/science teacher and a Humanities teacher for each, or can both be math/science?
Not aware of list. My DD submitted 3 LORs. Reason was 1 teacher took longer than expected, so asked another to make deadline.
When you review the details section of what has been downloaded, it says how many they accept. Over half of her schools allow more than 2. IMO, the other ones will probably review as well. Really don't see how 3 can hurt.
Okay thanks lacrossemom. This supplementary letter of rec will probably help because it is from a tennis coach of mine who knew me since I was 10 and knows me on and off the court. He is also the brother of the leader of the band Hiroshima. Would it be too late to send this letter to Stanford if I applied EA?
If these are all common app schools and you have added them to your list, it will say whether the school accepts more than the basic 2 LOR inside that section in the common ap where you go to actually add the names of the teachers.
Typically those types of schools do not want more than 2 teacher LOR to read. I believe Cornell let you put in 2 teacher recs plus the GC one.
