<p>The whole teacher recommendation process is confusing me.</p>
<p>First off, one of the teachers I am going to ask teaches an elective at my school. She teaches accounting. I want to be a business major. Is she a good rec?</p>
<p>Also, does a teacher have to write an essay for each of the schools I am applying to? Or do they just write one for all of them?</p>
<p>If a college wants a Guidance consular rec, should I still get 2 teacher recs, or just one?</p>
<p>bump......</p>
<p>It depends on the college (yes, you've probably heard that before)</p>
<p>Some colleges specifically ask for core/academic teachers to write your recommendations; I don't know if accounting would count as an academic or not. Either way, ultimately you want a teacher that can talk about your strengths and interests. If the college considers accounting a core subject, and that teacher knows you very well, then she'd be a good person to ask.</p>
<p>Usually teachers will write one letter, and then copy it and send it to each of the schools you're applying to.</p>
<p>The GC rec is usually required, in addition to 2 teacher recommendations. Again, double check with the college.</p>
