Teacher recommendations are an amazing way to show colleges that you are an exponential student. It also gives colleges a second source that highlights your strengths and what you have to offer. Submitting them could only benefit you even if they are not required. In fact, I would recommend using them in all of your college applications.

Hope this helps!

You might as well, if there is an option to include them you should. There is no harm in including more and if they are good recommendations include them.

You should submit the letters, as it will make your application shine in the admissions office.
