Sometimes, I hear people talking about getting additional recommendations from their instructors outside of school, or pastors or something. I'm applying to some pretty selective schools, but I've never heard of this? They only ask for two teacher recs and a counselor.

Replies My Little Pony Posted at 2:39 pm on July 7, 2009 Which schools? I could probably help you figure that out. Typically you send the amount that they require plus one supplemental recommendation from an another adult who knows you well, like a teacher from a summer course, an employer you know well, a coach, etc. EDIT: You could also bring this question to collegeconfidential.com on the specific forum for whichever schools you're talking about. You'd get a straight answer pretty easily there. ritadimassi Posted at 1:45 pm on July 7, 2009 It's nice to have various sources for recommendation, although getting them from your teachers are already a great source. Getting one from your pastor from your church will be nice too. www.HigherEdSpace.com newmie66 Posted at 11:34 am on July 1, 2009 If you don't mind me asking, what schools are you applying to? Some really value additional recommendations from athletic coaches, music teachers, etc., especially if you are planning on participating in those activities in college. SoaringFalcon2010 Posted at 4:58 am on July 1, 2009 you need a preachers reccomadation if your going to a christian college and thats about it, if its just a normal college then all you have to have is teacher Sins and Demons Posted at 4:30 am on July 1, 2009 Getting recommendations from people outside the school can show envolvment in other activities that arent just academic which looks good. GlassHearts Posted at 4:28 am on July 1, 2009 I dont think you do.. unless they ask specifically for it. All 6 previous replies displayed.
