<p>My grades from my first two years of high school are not great (my transcript demonstrates a strong upward trend), so I thought it might be helpful to submit an additional recommendation from one of my 11th/12th grade teachers. Does this make sense? Or would it be a waste of time?</p>
<p>I think a few schools accept high school recs, I remember reading that northwestern does. Most schools however does not accept them.</p>
<p>I usually recommend sending only 1 additional supplemental LOR above the number required. HS is fine as long as it’s a supplemental or OK with the college.</p>
<p>i will be sending one. only send them if you know that they are good quality recs/ i wouldn’t send bad ones</p>
<p>I am, though it is to supplement the Secondary School Report; I have no relationship whatsoever with my secondary school counselor, so the teacher reference will be used in place of counselor comments on my high school activities and character.</p>
<p>Is it common to use a recommendation from a teacher in lieu of a counselor on the SSR report?</p>
<p>I have a friend that was in an accident so their abilities in studying, focusing, retaining are not as good as they were in high school, for the moment. Ok to use a high school recommendation along with college to show how good a student they were while they go through the healing process?</p>

<p>I come from a Canadian high school, justina11. I had absolutely no relationship with the counselor I was assigned to for high school. Thus, rather than a bland secondary school report that provides no evidence of my character, I will be attaching a recommendation letter from a teacher I still keep in contact with. I feel that is the most thorough and substantial way for admission officers to evaluate my soft traits.</p>
