^^ Being judicious is the key. See: [Advice on Putting Together Your Application | Yale College Admissions](Advice on Putting Together Your Application | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions)

“Supplementary materials can provide broader context to some parts of your application, but they can just as often be superfluous and distracting. For example, a letter from someone who supervised your extracurricular research project may answer important questions about the work you’ve done. But a third recommendation that raves about you, just as your other letters do, will not necessarily enhance your application. In fact, it may dilute the effect of the two required recommendations.”
