My current Masters path

... The issue I have is with references since I don’t feel comfortable asking my professors to send more than two.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Most professors have been in your position (needing reference letters) a few times in their lives, and understand that they are a part of the job.

I think your right, however, for me, it's a matter of professionalism. I will ask a few to write several recommendations and some of my colleagues from overseas have helped. I am a little surprised at the amount of time it takes and the waiting process has been very long.
