<p>kay, i'm really confused. I'm using the common app to apply to five schools. Some of them require one teacher recommendation, some two. I've looked on there websites but i can't find out if they want one teacher rec and one counselor rec (for the one rec schools) or if they want two teachers and one counselor for the two rec schools. I really can't figure it out, or doesn't it matter. Can your counselor form count as a teacher rec? I'm planning to have my Ap bio teacher do one rec, but my counselor's already doing some for other schools so it won't be any more work. I also could ask my former journalism adviser as she's who appointed me editor this year, but i don't know if that would be too much?
Sry this is so long, but i'm really confused. Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>Counselor req almost never counts as teacher req. Some schools want 1 teacher req, some want 2. Occasionally, they want specific teacher types - for example 1 English/Social Studies and 1 Math/Science.</p>
<p>Check what the school asks for on its admission site. Some schools require that it be a teacher who taught you in a class, not just an advisor.</p>
