<p>My counselor wrote the recommendation letter for the common app school report, im wondering if we can send it even if stanford says no optional rec lettrts from teachers or counselors. Im confused whether thiscounts as an optional rec letter or just part of the school report.</p>
<p>The school report and the counselor recommendation are two different things.
Stanford is not interested in the recommendation your counselor sent, but it won’t have a drastic effect on you</p>
<p>No. The counselor recommendation letter is a part of the secondary school report. It is a required part of the common app. The secondary school report’s second page has room where it asks for your counselor to give feedback or to attach a separate sheet if they wrote their own rec on a separate sheet. It is not an optional recommendation letter so send it in with the secondary school report.</p>
