like 2by2 said, i haven’t applied yet, but thanks for the helpful responses! and to reply a bit: my two teacher recs consist of one from a humanities class which is very discussion based, and the other from a math class which is lecture-based but has opportunities to ask questions, present work, etc–so they should not be ‘redundant,’ well, at least i hope not.

and i think 2by2 said “tom is good at art” would pretty much be useless. what would an outstanding supplemental rec be–“tom is one of the most talented student artists i’ve encountered” and then an in-depth description of tom’s strengths in art? (lol, sorry with the tom thing)
