<p>Hi,
I am applying to several very selective schools this fall and I have a question about my recommendations...
They were written by my guidance counselor and my debate coach..Is this OK? I am attempting to contact my old latin teacher but I have not had any luck in getting in touch with him.<br>
I plan to have my religious leader write me a character reference. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think that's fine, but most schools require at least one academic teacher rec. It's best to get the one from your latin teacher or at least from another teacher you have right now. I think you have a good range of recommendations that would show colleges who you are.</p>
<p>My GC wrote me a reference letter and it was the greatest ref. letter ever. I worked with her in different programs for 4 years. I also recommend getting one from a teacher who knows you well to make it more personable.</p>
