My first question is: can I give them a letter of recommendation from someone who is not a teacher? I’ve worked for a local politician for 2 years now, and he is going to write a letter for me. However, on the GTown app, it says to give letters from teachers. Is it possible that I could send 2 letters from teachers and 1 from the politician?
Also, is there a way I could see the essay questions without finishing the rest of the application? I want to start brainstorming ideas before I finish my resume.

As for the LoRs, generally it’s a good idea to do what the university is telling you to do. If they want you to give them letters from teachers, then do that. You can contact the admissions office and ask if you can send a supplemental letter, but unless they give you that option on the app, the answer is probably a no. Remember that adcoms read thousands of applications and one more letter really won’t make that much of a difference.
