Make sure that every word counts. Write more than two or three paragraphs. A letter of recommendation for employment should be one page; a college recommendation letter should be 1 or 2 pages.

get all 4 and choose the 2 strongest. If you're not able to see, choose the 2 teachers that knew you the best. Keep the other letters with you. Can be handy in the future

It helped me a lot to write a request for a recommendation letter. But now I got a problem I do not know how to deal with. Namely, I asked two professors for a recommendation letter and when a week-or two passed without them responding back to me, I asked two other professors. Now all of them answered they are willing to talk on my behalf, but the Committee needs only two receommendations letter. What can I do? And how to tell politely to two professors I am not really in need for their reference for this application? Thank you

If so, get one from a teacher and one from a professor

If not, just get both from professors.

Is it appropriate to get both recs from my professors, or should I also get one from a high school teacher that taught me as a sophomore?

Will a letter from a non-high school teacher set me apart?
