Urgent-Common App Teacher Rec

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

Hi,

I am asking my AP government teacher from junior year for a rec but he moved away to a different school. My school uses Naviance for recs and I cannot request him through Naviance since he does not work at my school. When I try to add him as an other recommended on common app, common app shows that it doesn’t count as a teacher rec but as an other rec, but this person was my TEACHER and not a coach or something. Because of this for colleges I’m applying to that require a Teacher rec I’m not meeting the requirements since it’s not counting my AP gov’s rec as a teacher rec. What do I do? Will my colleges still count it as a teacher rec? Please help I’m really anxious!!!

In the end, it doesn’t matter if it’s coded teacher or other. They would see the formatting (letter or the form) and know to read it. Just make sure it’s sent properly.

Any doubts, ask the colleges.

We can’t tell you what the colleges will do. You’ll have to contact each one to ask.
