UNC Chapel Hill Undergrad Application: Letters of Recommendation?

Hi there. As I get ready to apply for colleges, UNC Chapel Hill is definitely on my list. But, I'm not entirely sure about their requirements. How many letters of recommendation does UNC Chapel Hill need for an undergraduate application?

7 months ago

UNC Chapel Hill has a flexible approach to letters of recommendation. While they are not required, you may choose to submit up to two letters with your application. These can be from teachers, coaches, or mentors who can provide a valuable perspective on your academic or personal characteristics.

Remember, a good letter of recommendation is one that provides insights into your character, your strengths, and your dedication to your studies. Someone who knows you well and can speak to your achievements, your work ethic, and your growth can be a great person to write you a letter.

So, while it's not a mandatory part of the UNC application, it could absolutely provide some additional context about you as an applicant. Keep in mind that quality is more important than quantity, so only include letters if you think they add something unique to your application.
