recommendation letter question

<p>Could anyone help me figure out one question?</p>

<p>I noticed that for Cornell University and University of Michigan, the number of required recommendation letter is just 1 while the number of allowed letters is 4. Do you think it would be all right to invite my high school teacher as one of 4 evaluators? because I am only close to 2 professors in the university.</p>

<p>Thank you for your help!!</p>

<p>Usually admissions would be happy to see 2 at most, but in regards to your question, I believe that high school recommendations are looked down upon because they would rather have your college professors attest to your academic ability. Unless there is something your high school teacher has something to say that is important.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!!!</p>

<p>@andr3w101 do you think it would be better to have 1 recommendation letter from extracurricular than professor if I can get better letter from the extra curricular?</p>
