[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like OP’s kid attends SR….

Anyone at a school with free periods needs to aka what they’re paying for[/quote]

SR college counseling allows two letters of recommendation for each and every senior...so no. It sounds like SJC based on the PP's comment that [b]only scholar program students get 2 letters[/b].[/quote]

Which other posters have stated is untrue.

[/quote]
No they haven’t. The full rule is that they can only send one unless the school requires two. The only non-scholar commenters who said their kids were able to send more than one said the schools required two. [/quote]

Each student gets the number of LORs required by the colleges they are applying to.

What’s the issue?[/quote]

If a student wants to add a LOR to an application where it is not required and they are not in scholars program, they will be refused. You think this is a good policy?[/quote]
Student A and B both applying to College C - a college that does holistic admissions that requires 1 teach LOR but allows one optional teacher LOR
Student A and B have very similar profiles and student B has slightly higher GPA and test scores
Student A in Scholars program gets 2 LORs that highlight different aspects of the student 
Student B gets 1 LOR

Who gets in? [/quote]

Sounds like under the policy they can both send two since the college allows it. Also, LORs don't have to come from teachers, so either way they can both send two. In any case, on the common app the LORs are uploaded and for each app the kid clicks which ones to send, so if they are already loaded for one school, you can send them to any school. [/quote]
