Do I Need Additional Letters of Recommendation?
You have your basic letters of rec lined up because you def followed our advice and secured them junior year. Your counselor and two teachers you’re close with are going to write beautiful letters about how you should go to Harvard/Stanford/UNC/UC Berkeley/etc., etc. However, you’re in the Common App and realize that your dream school actually allows up to two whole extra letters of rec. Should you take it? Ask a few more people? Maybe a family friend who went to the school? Our answer: probably not.
