<p>I've known this person for awhile and I would like for her to write my teacher rec. Is this okay?</p>
<p>i don't think so.</p>
<p>=[ are you sure?</p>
<p>I'd ask your guidance counselor.</p>
<p>No. They want your high school teachers to write your recs, and only junior and senior teachers. You could ask your mentor to write a rec for you, but it would be considered as an additional rec. My daughter submitted her ballet teacher's rec, but it couldn't be one of her teacher's rec. My daughter had known her ballet teacher for 10 years, spending close to 15 hours/week with her. You could also ask your coach or employer to write recs, but they are considered as additional.</p>
<p>Aw okay thanks.</p>
<p>So I'm guessing 2 teacher recs + 1 additonal rec is allowed? Even for the Common App?</p>
<p>Each school is different, but I would send it in.</p>
