<p>^You’re right. In that case it might be better to just send it two. They do mention that it’s probably a mistake to ask a 9th grade teacher.</p>
<p>Here’s the direct link to what I think you might be referring to:
[Applying</a> to Yale College | Frequently Asked Questions | Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.yale.edu/admit/faq/applying.html#9]Applying”>http://www.yale.edu/admit/faq/applying.html#9)</p>
<p>One last point, they do say that they strongly discourage submitting more than 2 letters (imagine how much more work they would have if everyone sent in 3!). That said, they say that in some cases they do understand the need to send in another one (labeled “Supplementary” to avoid confusion). This should only be an option if you really feel that an additional letter of recommendation might significantly help your application (and won’t repeat what the previous two already discussed). </p>
<p>Hope that helps</p>
