<p>Question: I have already spent the entirety of my junior year narrowing down my list of colleges that I would like to go to. My top two colleges that I have a great chance of getting into require a “character/spiritual” letter of recommendation from a pastor since these are private, Christian universities. I rarely go [...]</p>
<p>😭 Omg what do I do</p>
<p>Just honestly explain why you cannot give a pastor’s recommendation. If you go to a church that has 65,000 people and your pastor doesn’t know you from Adam, call the church office and ask how they handle school recommendations. Sometimes they will schedule an interview for you, or ask a church leader you do know to complete the app. If you are a new believer, just explain that. Or, perhaps, you were pretty uninterested in church stuff and then God zapped you and now you are called to the mission field. There are all kinds of paths to Christian colleges, and the admission staff knows that. </p>
