<p>I want to ask my school paper adviser to give a recommendation for me in the Common App, but I don't know if I should classify her as an Arts Teacher, Coach, Clergy, etc.</p>
<p>since she is an adviser, you can classify her as a counselor. </p>
<p>@BDstudent Because I already invited my guidance counselor and I can only invite one, I can’t choose counselor for my school paper adviser.</p>
<p>What are the other options?</p>
<p>@shawnspencer </p>
<p>Arts Teacher
Clergy
Coach
College Access Counselor
Employer
Family Member
Peer
Other</p>
<p>I would probably say it is appropriate to put “other” in this case as your adviser is none of the above. Honestly I am surprised that “adviser” is not an option (given how popular a choice it is) and “family member” is. I wasn’t even aware you could get a recommendation from a family member…</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with shawnspencer ‘adviser’ should have been in the option. </p>
