Hello,
I asked my official school counselor to write me a letter of recommendation (for the counselor rec letter) but I wasn’t aware that our gifted teacher could also act as our counselor and write the counselor letter of rec. The gifted teacher knows me a lot better as in individual (our school has over 2000 students, so my official counselor has a lot of students that she’s in charge of). However, my official counselor has already started the recommendation, but I think the gifted teacher could speak a lot more about my personality since he knows me personally (and I interact with him everyday). What should I do? Should I just let my official guidance counselor write my letter of rec or ask my gifted teacher? Thanks for any advice
The obvious question is have you already asked your teacher to write your letter of recommendation? I believe nearly every college wants a teacher rec. If you haven’t yet asked for one, you should, and quickly.
I have 2 other teachers who will be writing my letters of recommendation but I want to know if I should I ask my gifted teacher to write my counselor rec instead of my official counselor
You should ask your GC if that is okay. Your GC still has to send all the important stuff, like the profile and transcript.
