<p>I am a high school student that is going to take summer classes this year at a local community college. I was wondering if I could ask one of my professors to write me a rec for the common app. Do people do this? Is this allowed? Are there any drawbacks or benefits to this?</p>
<p>I did this. It is definitely allowed. I can’t see any drawbacks to this, except for the fact that your professor might not know enough about you after a 6 week class. But if you interact with them, then they should be able to write you a good rec.</p>
<p>Same, I did it as well. “Dr.” and “PhD” might carry some weight if applicable, but otherwise, there should be no difference.</p>
