Should I submit one or two teacher recommendations?

Most selective colleges and universities require one to three recommendation letters with your application, usually from your guidance counselor and at least one teacher. Recommendation letters are typically submitted electronically through the school-specific supplements on The Common Application.

When should you ask for teacher recs?

Ask At Least a Month Before Your College Deadlines Unless your school or teachers set other policies, you should ask for recommendation letters about four weeks before your college deadlines.

Can other recommenders be teachers?

They can be individuals in your school – like counselors and teachers. They can also be people who worked with you in extracurricular activities, such as coaches or employers. There are four recommender types in the Common App: counselors, teachers, other recommenders, and advisors.

Can teachers reuse recommendation letters?

Can I Use Letters of Recommendation Multiple Times? Definitely! You may need the person sending the letter of rec to submit it separately each time. The easiest way to reuse letters of rec is usually on an application platform, where the letters are often automatically used as many times as you apply to colleges.
