<p>I'm realllly sorry if this question has been asked a million times. (I tried search.)</p>
<p>Long story/question short... As a dual-enrollment student at the U of Minnesota, would it be wise to ask a college professor to write one of the two main letters of recommendation. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>PSEO? Yeah, me too. There's actually quite a few of us on CC when you look for 'em.</p>
<p>Anyways, as long as the professor knows you well enough to write about more than just your grades (character, ability, personality, etc.), I would go for it. Both of my recommendations are from teachers at UMN (1 is an English/Writing grad student/TA and the other is a French instructor - not quite a tenured prof).</p>
<p>I'm not exactly sure about this one, but I at least hope that adcoms might put a little more weight on a rec from a teacher at UMN rather than one at my high school.</p>
<p>^ I'm not sure they'll put more weight on it, but I'm quite sure it will count. My D is starting PSEO at the U in September and is hoping to do well enough to get good recs from her profs.</p>
<p>It's like any other reco, does the person really know you and can he/she shed more light on you than someone else.</p>
<p>Yeah, my only concern is that I've heard they don't know how to write rec. But I guess I could just tell them...?</p>
