Any advice on asking for recs? Is one better than the other?
I ask my counsellor for recs last year when I was applying, she didn’t seem to happy to write them. I don’t know if she’ll want to write one this year.
Who knows you better/ do you have more experience with?
None really. My counsellor is really hard to see, I had to wait 3 weeks to see her because I had a hole in my schedule and there is always a line of students waiting to see her.
Based on your past experience perhaps the principal is worth a try this time around.
