How many recommendations will be required?

We require two academic recommendations, and one counselor recommendation, which will be submitted through Common App. One recommendation must be from an 11th grade teacher in a core academic subject (English/language arts, mathematics, social studies/history, science, or foreign language), and one from another teacher or professor who has worked with you in the last four years. Both of these recommenders should be well-acquainted with your performance and character, and should be able to discuss your academic progress through the class curriculum, challenges you faced, how you overcame them, and your overall academic engagement.

In addition to your academic recommendations, you are required to submit one counselor recommendation from your high school counselor through the Common App. If there is no counselor at your school, you may list your principal or other school official who has overseen your academic progress.
