Counselor Reccomendations?

<p>I'm considering applying to Stanford (long shot) in the fall. The highest achievers at my (public) school usually go to Berkeley & UCSD, with an Ivy/Stanford person maybe every few years or more...so the counselors aren't used to being very involved in the process or getting to know students well enough to write recommendations.</p>

<p>Does Stanford require any kind of recommendation by a counselor, or do they just take the two teacher evaluations? Thanks.</p>

<p>^ yes, Stanford requires a counselor rec</p>

<p>if you use the common app, you can start asking for recommendations in late august</p>
