<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm applying to a few schools in the US and the UK for college. For a few of my schools, I need a counsellor recommendation letter. My problem is, the counsellor I have now just got on the job at the end of my junior year. I barely know her and she is pretty mean. The previous counsellor was very nice and I had a good relationship with her but the problem is I only knew her for less than a year and I had just switched schools (i switched between my sophmore and junior year). During my freshman and sophmore years at my old school I barely talked to my counsellor. I've seen sample counsellor recommendations and they are elaborately written and the cousnellors have known the students for 4 years and they know all their activities in school and have so many good things to say. My question is how am I supposed to get a reference letter when my counsellor doesn't know me at all and shes mean and unlikely to write a good recommendation?</p>
