only teachers for teacher/counsellor report?

<p>Is there anyway someone from the community (i.e. professors,doctors,etc) could send in the counsellor/teacher reports for me? Or can I just attach their recomendation?</p>

<p>The Counselor or Teacher Report, part II, says,
"As part of the application for admission to the University of Southern California, we ask students to obtain a report from a school counselor or teacher. We seek the comments and evaluations of school officials who know the student well..."</p>

<p>Since it says "school" twice in the instructions, you would be wise to use someone from your school.</p>

<p>Thanks, but do you know if we can send other recomendations along with are application?</p>

<p>I know there are other schools that ask for outside recs, but USC doesn't so I wouldn't do it. But it probably wouldn't be a deal breaker. Maybe a student here can tell you if they did it.</p>

<p>Anyone??????</p>

<p>From what I know, you should only submit additional recs if they are excellent. Keep in mind: they have to read quite a lot, so the rec should be worth it.</p>

<p>My D enquired about sending in a supplementary recommendation from outside school, in her case a letter from her research mentor who volunteered to write one. She was told it was fine.</p>

<p>Sounds good... THANK YOU!</p>
