I think, I can get a LOR from all the science and humanities professors I have had so far. How many do people usally submit and would it benaficial to submit more than the average. Or is there a number you have the submit?
 
You really do not want to go over 5. I have worked closely with a number of admission directors and they have all said that over 5 it gets repetious and boring. So try to keep it at 5 or under if you can. Definetly never send more than 6 ever!!!

Make sure they are great strong letters and not just..."this person got all A's in my class." Make sure the people you pick can make the letters more personal. Good luck.
 
They usually specify their max number. It's usually five, but I've seen as low as two at some schools.
