<p>My counselor told me yesterday that I need a teacher recommendation for National Merit, but I don't see anything on the form implying that this is true. Is a teacher recommendation needed for the application?</p>
<p>my counselor said the same. </p>
<p>Just get one of the teachers that is writing a college rec letter to adjust the letter a little for the National Merit scholarship. I even got a form to give to the teacher for writing the rec letter. I guess it is needed?</p>
