Guidance counselor REPLACEMENT?!

Applying to College
1

<p>People were scaring me about how colleges REQUIRED a guidance counselor letter of recommendation was required for schools like Cornell and such--- I did some research and its not(im pretty sure -- <a href="http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/first-year-applicants/admission-requirements"&gt;http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/first-year-applicants/admission-requirements&lt;/a&gt;) </p>

<p>But also, my guidance counselor just had a baby (yay) but shes out until like february so now I go to her replacement for college stuff. I just need somebody to make this clear to me, COLLEGES DONT REQUIRE GUIDANCE LETTER OF REC's RIGHT? I looked it up for RISD, Cornell, CMU, and Syracuse-- im sorry, im just really paranoid and dont want to get a letter of rec from a person i dont really know. </p>

<p>I dont even know this guidance counselor replacements name </p>

5

<p>Yes, all common app schools have a guidance counselor rec.</p>

<p>Yes you need one and then 2 separate letters of recommendation from your teacher. Go to a replacement counselor, there must be a process to take over when the counselor goes on maternity.</p>

<p>It’s not like she didn’t know this was coming for the last nine months - I’m sure they have a plan in place. Just go ask what it is. For all you know, the GC on leave already wrote a lot of the letters before she had the baby or left notes on each student.</p>
