<p>I have never heard of a situation where it made sense to send more than 3 recommendations besides the guidance counselor’s. I’m just a student, so I don’t have particular expertise, but I would recommend OP choose only one non-academic letter. As for Amplified, I think the journalism-English-science matters on how much your journalism and English recommendations will differ. Can you ask them what they would advise? They haven’t seen you in the other teacher’s class, but they will also know much more about what they’re planning to write than I do.</p>
