<p>I have a brand new guidance counselor (never met), as mine retired. How should I handle the Counselor Recommendation form and the Secondary School report which requires the counselor to evaluate me? Thanks.</p>
<p>does your school give you (/your parents) a paper to fill out? My HS did that and the counselor just used that info… I had definitely never spoken to my counselor before the college process, so I don’t think your situation is very rare.</p>
<p>I never filled out any paper, but I will fill out my own and give it to her to use. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Most counselors in this situation will note that they are new and will complete the secondary school report to the best of their abilities. You can also ask your former counselor to supplement your current counselor’s evaluation. It is also in these circumstances whe we recommend sending two of the optional teacher recommendations given that you haven’t had the chance to get to know your guidance counselor.</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
