<p>Hi!!</p>

<p>I have a question regarding international student's recommendation letters:</p>

<p>I spent one year as an exchange student in the USA and I think that I have a closer relationship with teachers from my American school than I do with teachers from my home country.Therefore, I asked two American teachers to write me recommendation letters. However, I have recently been told that I must have a recommender from my home country. </p>

<p>Is this information correct or is ok if my two recommenders are American teachers?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>It’s perfectly okay for you to get letters of recommendations from teachers at a former school. (In fact, colleges might even prefer American letters because they are easier to interpret.) </p>

<p>If you are really worried, why don’t you email a few colleges to confirm?</p>

<p>What you said makes a lot of sense. </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>And I did email them, but I haven’t received an answer.</p>
