How much will 2 science recs hurt me?

Applying to College

<p>My English teacher was angry that I was going to give him 10 recs to write, so I gave him 5 instead and another 5 to a second science teacher.</p>

<p>For Stanford, Caltech, Duke, Dartmouth, and Princeton, how much will 2 science recs hurt?</p>

<p>Caltech is quite specific - they want a humanities rec. I am not sure about the others. Check their website. Why would your english teacher mind? it just means hitting the xerox button 5 more times (or entering the number 10) and stuffing 5 more envelopes.</p>

<p>yeah, he only has to write one recommendation letter for you and hit the button. the worst thing is having 5 schools that don’t accept the CA or UC, but even that can’t be bad - teacher rec forms are short.</p>

<p>well, some schools (especially private schools that don’t use the common application… and probably the University of Chicago!) ask specific questions for teacher recommendations.</p>

<p>Anyone else with some info?</p>
