<p>If I want a supplementary rec from someone (whose not a teacher), should I use the teacher rec from the commonapp? Or can I just ask the person to write the rec however she wants to do it and then send it in?

<p>No, I would not use the teacher rec from the common application. I would ask the other rec to write a letter. What source is the other rec?</p>
<p>So I should just ask the recommender to write however she likes to?</p>
<p>the other rec is from a librarian who knows me because I volunteered in the local library.</p>
<p>I think that is a good rec. Don't use the teacher rec form though; again, just have here write a letter.</p>
