<p>I have gotten 2 teachers to agree to write me letters of rec (one has already submitted it, I'm not sure about the other one).</p>

<p>My question is, do I also need my counselor to write a letter of rec even though I already have 2 from teachers? I don't understand why this would be the case since I've only talked to my counselor two or three times total so he doesn't know anything about me.</p>
