Bad Recommendation

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi everyone!</p>

<p>So I just got my letter of recommendation back from my guidance counselor, and she had some really nice things to say and she absolutely extends her highest possible recommendation to me. The problem is that the letter is written at a sixth grade level-- she has horrible grammar, syntax, spelling, you name it! She merely lists my activities, she doesn't elaborate on anything. It's honestly just a bad letter (though I do appreciate her taking the time to write it) and I can't send it in. Oh yeah, it was crinkled, too.</p>

<p>For some schools, guidance counselor recs are required.</p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>I'm pretty guidance counselor recommendation letters are a standard for every high school student going into college.</p>

<p>The one or two letters you get from teachers you ask hold more importance than the brief letter the guidance counselor will write I am pretty sure.</p>
