<p>Okay look- my school doesn't have a counselor. so it's my principal, and she does the secondary school eval and she sends my transcripts. She wants to write a recommendation letter too. she says it's compulsory for the counselor to send a rec. is it true? will i have to send every college the rec the counselor writes? and then the teacher evals?
All i need to know is whether i can just send only what she does as a counselor and NOT her rec.</p>
<p>Unless you foresee something not flattering, why the opposition to her writing a rec letter? Other schools have no counselor like your situation. It’s not unheard of.</p>
<p>Maybe print this out and give to her?</p>

<p>thanks for that, it is helpful! but you still haven’t answered my question. is it or is it not mandatory for her to write it? cause then if i decide not to take it, i can not select it for any college, while i’m picking the recs for the commonapp. i can do that, right?</p>
