For T20s, is it better to submit a Letter of Recommendation from someone at the same university that you are applying to, or is it better to submit a Letter of Recommendation from another university?

Pay close attention to the requirements of each school on your list, you can find these on their website.

Most require an HS GC rec letter, and one or two from HS core subject teachers.

Some colleges won’t accept extra LoRs, which is what university LoRs would be. Are these from teachers you have had in DE classes, or have done research with?

Thank you so much for your response. I’ve done research with them. I think most of the universities I’m applying to allow 1 LoR. I believe my GC can take an excerpt from the other one’s LoR? I couldn’t find any T20s which allow 2 LoRs, at least from my list - am I missing something good?

What schools are on your list?

How would your GC even see external LoRs? Even if they did, I would not suggest they copy material from them, how would that be adding anything to your application? (which is the whole point of LoRs)

You haven’t really answered my initial question—why external teachers and not HS ones? Are they DE teachers?
