I have two teacher recs lined up, but I REALLY want to use my LOR from my coach because it best shows my character, work ethic, etc. He is a teacher at my school, but he wasn’t my teacher BUT he helped me with the subject he taught and I used his classroom as a homeroom (did my homework in there and wrote all over the boards). I was wondering if it would be alright if I submit his LOR under the “teacher” recs or would I have to have his letter as a supplement. I know it is /suggested/ I do that, but I heard that they don’t weigh the supplements as much OR they don’t recommend or allow them at all. Thank you so much for your help!
Look at the requirements/preferences for the schools you are applying to.
Many schools are very clear that they want a teacher whose class you have been in.
