<p>About the topics. I doubt my schools counselors have ever done a " counselors recommendation" and I'm not sure about the secondary school report either.</p>
<p>Would I have to ask for them just for me, as a special case?
What do/did you do?</p>
<p>You will need both of them. Most international students ask an administrator or a teacher in an academic advising position to complete these forms. It is supposed to be someone with access to your school file and an overview of the academics at your school (e.g., who would know the average GPA of all students at your school?) </p>
<p>You might have to help your counselor with the paperwork if he does not have any experience, as is the case for many international applicants. I did all of the research and prepared some of the required documents myself, and then sat down with my counselor to complete the rest. For example, I prepared my transcript myself, had it certified by my principal and then gave it to my counselor when we were working on the school report.</p>
<p>Ok, I will have to find someone who can help me. Thanks!</p>
<p>Do you have suggestions where to start my research? Where did you find your information?</p>
