Hey, so on the common app it says that Harvard allows up to three recommendations and 2 "other recommendations". I really want two people who have been heavily involved with my extracurriculars to write me one, but would 4 recommendations in total (2 from teachers, and 2 from the "other recommenders" ) be excessive? I know adcoms get frustrated reading too many recs, so I don't want to irritate the adcom reading my app. I don't ABSOLUTELY need the other recommendations, but i think they would be super important since my teachers don't really know anything about my extracurricular involvement.
