Should Recommendations be College Specific?

<p>Hi, my teacher is wondering whether she should write my recommendation with the school that I am applying to in mind, or if she should just talk only about me. Should she write about the college and maybe explain why I'd be a good fit? Or no?</p>

<p>No, recs should not be school specific</p>

<p>No. If she really feels that it would add to your recommendation to mention the college specifically, she should contact the guidance office and coordinate the sending of that specific letter with them.</p>

<p>(I work full-time at a school, and we get emails from the college counselling office about this all the time. This is what our college counsellor says.)</p>
