Option to Choose Teacher Recommendations for Different Colleges on Common App?

Applying to College
1

Hello,

I was wondering if I can choose which specific teacher recommendations to sent to different colleges on the Common App.
For example, Harvard prefers two teachers from junior and senior year, while Princeton does not have a preference for what grade level you had the teacher. Would I be able to select different teacher recs for different colleges? If so, should I ask more than 2 teachers to upload their recommendations onto the Common App and then select different combinations for various schools’ recommendations? Thanks in advance!

No.

FWIW, I applied to Harvard (among others) with a recommendation from a teacher I had as a sophomore and I was accepted.

No need to make the process more difficult than it already is.

Thank you! That was super helpful. So I should just ask two teachers for recs, right? And what other colleges did you get accepted to?
