Are recommendation letters required from my teacher and my counselor? I know the form part of the recommendation form is required, but is an additional letter of recommendation required? The online application mentions that the letter is optional, but the print forms (PDF versions) don’t say anywhere that letter part is optional (it says “please attach a letter of recommendation”).

What should I tell my teachers? I don’t want to burden them with another letter to write if I don’t have to (they can still fill out the forms).
