<p>Are teacher recommendations required or suggested for JMU?</p>
<p>This information is on JMU's website. I cut and pasted this portion for you, but look at their website for admission information:</p>
<ol>
<li>Secondary School Report and Recommendation
This form is located in the application and must be given to the high school guidance office. This is where the Admissions Committee will learn if the applicant chose the most demanding program of courses, an average program of courses, etc. They also tell us how competitive the high school class is by sharing with us how many students intend to go on to a four year college next year. They will rate the applicant in some areas such as academic potential, motivation, and leadership skills.</li>
</ol>
<p>Please ask only one person to send a recommendation letter. You may ask for this letter from an academic teacher or your guidance counselor. We cannot read additional letters, so please be sure to ask for only one. The letter and the secondary school report are not the same thing--always give the secondary school report to your counselor, even if you ask a teacher to write you a letter.</p>
