Well, you guys keep answering my stupid questions, so I'm going to keep asking them...
So, i've done well in my postbacc and have asked most of my professors to write a recommendation for me. Including a strong recommendation from my former employer, my current director of research and head of the associated department, as well as the department chair where i volunteer, i will be applying with about 12 recommendations in my "file". I expect that they will all be good recommendations.
Is this the kind of situation where they will just stop reading after a couple? Should I just submit 3... 5 or some other number that the schools require? Can we just submit a whole lot of them secure in the knowledge that these very busy people will read through a stack of hagiographies?
