<p>I was wondering, how would it look to get a letter of recommendation from someone else's parent?
Like, for example, tutoring someone and getting that person's dad to write a letter?</p>
<p>I wouldn't do it, unless they would give you an amazing recommendation and bring to light something that might not be seen in your application.</p>
<p>one word: awkward.</p>
<p>^ word (10 chars)</p>
<p>I wouldn't include it originally, but if you got deferred or something, that might be a good thing to send in.</p>
<p>why would it be awkward?</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't get the awkward thing either.</p>
<p>I would say go for it...Look it over, and if it's good, send it in.</p>
<p>if the college doesnt specifically state that the rec must come from a teacher or counselor i say go for it</p>
<p>thanks guys
oh and also, can i count this as work experience? even though it's not like an official employment or anything</p>
<p>if you get paid it would go under working, if you don't it's volunteer work.</p>
<p>Don"t colleges generally require letters of recommendation to come from teachers (excluding Dartmouth)?</p>
