Letter of Rec from Church Teacher ok??!

<p>Hi, I was just wondering if my for my third rec to USC, I asked my church religion teacher to write it, would that be ok?
I emailed the Assistant Director at the admissions office, and she said coaches, advisors, etc were fine, but I'm not sure about mine.</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>The other two I have are from physics teacher and english.</p>

<p>im confused. does the coaches, advisors, and ministers have to do the teacher rec form for usc.</p>

<p>No, they don't. It's just that since my church teacher knows me very well, I was wondering (and emailed USC) about whether or not I could get additional recommendations than jsut one primary academic one.</p>

<p>They replied and said they welcome additional recs but said I should "use judgment" but also said they would accept letters from coaches, advisors. I'm not sure if this includes church teachers -______-".</p>

<p>But...I'm just wondering if it would be alright for me to do that? Would it hurt me or benefit me?</p>

<p>A rec is fine from anyone who knows you well. So yes, a rec from your church teacher is appropriate.</p>
