Recommendation Letters

<p>I'm homeschooled if this makes a difference in anyone's replies.</p>

<p>I have something of a dilemma regarding recommendation letters. My best recommendation letters will come from extracurricular activities. I had a few online classes last year and can ask for letters from those teachers. I'm sure they will be fine, they just won't be as good as the other letters. The one extracurricular is an academic team and the coach of that team has a much better idea of my academic capabilities than my online teachers. </p>

<p>Some of the colleges I am applying to only allow recommendations from teachers. Should I ask the teachers of my online classes for recommendation letters and only use those? Should I list my extracurricular references as teachers of 'other' and use those recommendations? (they technically are teachers of 'other', but nothing I'm taking credit for [strictly extracurricular], and I'm guessing this is generally not what colleges mean by 'other') Should I email each specific college and see what they want? Any other options I'm not thinking of?</p>

<p>The answer may be different between colleges. Contacting them is likely the best approach to ensure you can send the best information to support your application</p>
