<p>My amazing guidance counselor is retiring before my senior year and I know she would have written an amazing rec! Would it be possible for her to write it still, or does it have to be the brand new gc?</p>
<p>She could write you a personal letter of recommendation, but your counselor report certainly must come from the current counselor. </p>
<p>This is Commonapp’s counselor form-- must come from the current counselor for pretty obvious reasons.</p>

<p>You may be able to work out an arrangement where the new GC includes in the report: “Also included is a letter of recommendation from the previous guidance counselor who had a longer relationship with the student.” The commonapp asks the length/context of the relationship between counselor/student so schools will be aware that she is new.</p>
<p>Oh thanks for that, it really helped. I’m talking to my current counselor tomorrow so I’ll bring this scenario up to her!</p>
