<p>Which one will look better in an application? I'm pretty sure they are both pretty well written recommendations, but which will JMU admissions prefer? If it makes any difference, the rest of my resume is pretty much this:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.89 weighted, 3.49 unweighted
SAT: 2090 (1470/1600)
Crew Team Captain
Guitar for 6 years
2nd degree blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do
Charitable club w/ 10 hours of community service
and some other minor stuff.</p>
<p>What do you all think?</p>
<p>With your stats, etc…, I doubt they will even care about recs.</p>
<p>but if you HAD to choose… which would you go with?</p>
<p>It is my understanding that some/many guidance counselors send a formal / informal recommendation when they send the transcript. If so, than I would go with a teacher rec since a teacher can presumably present a more subjective evaluation. I would imagine that most guidance counsel, unless they know the student well, essentially summarize the transcript, ECs… Why not contact JMU admission folks and ask them which they prefer ?</p>
