<p>I was just assigned a new counselor a week ago and have only met her a couple times - I'm not really sure she can write about me that much beyond what I handed to her on my resume and what it says on my transcripts, so I was thinking about asking a teacher who could elaborate more on my involvement with some of my ECs and personal characteristics to write part of it. The common app. says you can attach other statements to the eval. section that come from other school officials. Has anyone else done this before? Is this a bad idea because colleges might not want two letters in the evaluations or do colleges not care if counselor recommendation are vague if you go to a large school and have been put in difficult circumstances?</p>
