# of recommendations and the common app etc.

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I was wondering whether it is possible to upload any number of recommendations to the common app? I ask because I’m a quasi home school student and so it is necessary for me to do more elucidating of my academic situation, and many of the colleges to which I am applying suggest extra recommendations for home school students. I’m not going crazy with it–just guidance counseller, one to three academic recommendations depending on the college, and sometimes one music teacher recommendation as I am applying to some schools with music programs that require it. Also: can you tailor which recommendations you send to which schools?
Thanks…I’m still figuring out the whole common app thing:D</p>

<p>Yes, you may choose which schools see which recommendations. I am not sure on a limit, but five does not sound like an unreasonable number to submit.</p>

<p>Each college places its own limits on the number of teacher recommendations it is willing to accept. This limit is enforced in the “assigning” process within the School Forms section. For more information, click help from within your account.</p>
