Are two recs. really better than one?

Applying to College

<p>Does it really increase your chances if colleges say to send in one and says nothing about a second one?</p>

2

<p>No, especially if the second doesn’t add anything to your application (i.e. show a different side of you that the 1st rec doesn’t show) In fact, some schools discourage the submission of additional recs.</p>

<p>CDN_dancer is correct. Rule we followed was give the college what it asks for too much will not help and may hurt.</p>

<p>If it adds to the App, SEND IT IN. If it doesn’t, it hurts, but it’s not like it’s worse than getting 100 points lower on the SAT or something. </p>

<p>If it benefits, send it in. The point of supplementary materials is if it in itself is a unique piece of the app that without it, the app would not be as interesting or good. If you’re app feels little better as a whole after it, then dont send it</p>
