Letters of Recommendation

I am looking to apply to at least half a dozen programs this summer. All have relatively the same format/curriculum, so I am fairly indifferent to which I get accepted to and really just want to have multiple options as I don’t want to be stuck with nothing to do. My only issue is letters of recommendation. Most of my teachers would be willing to write a letter, but there is no way I could get them to write multiple ones. The programs are all science/math/technology programs, and I have 3 teachers who could write letters relating to those fields (calc/physics/comp science teachers). So what I’m wondering is when they receive instructions for writing these letters, could they send the same letter more than once? It’s not like the different programs will know the letters have been sent elsewhere, but I don’t know how specific the prompts the teachers get are. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.
