I only know two people personally that wrote letters for me. Im not sure if it is important to have both types , recs and letters of recommendation or if they are one in the same. Im seriously confused

Well there are recs, and then there are letters of support/recommendation that are meant to supplemeny recs.

If you're going through recruitment at a school where all the girls will have recs, letters of support are important because they offer a more personal look at who you are (moreso than the rec does).
