I think he's asking how much the recommendation letters factor into the decision making process of the selection board. But I could be wrong. In any case, I'm not qualified to answer that question.

I got eight, count'em eight, recs myself. It can only make you look better, not really because you have recs, but that you put in the effort to get them. I divided the people I got into three categories: professors, former supervisors (all military officers), and people I have done community service with. A good tip that goes along with getting recs is asking the person that you want the rec from if it is okay with them before you give thier names to your recruiter so they know that they will be getting something in the mail and then once they send off the letter it is proper to thank them for doing it. I just had to through my two cents out there.

On the other hand, my package was only submitted with 2 letters. I guess the minimum is supposed to be 3 or 4, but my recruiter got tired of waiting and figured I was a lock for selection. I got SNA, so I guess it goes to show that things can work the other way as well.
