I’m an international student and my school doesn’t have a counsellor. Since the CommonApp allows for other school officials to act as the counsellor, should I select:
• My Vice Principal– has authority and can arrange my transcripts, but is new to the school and has known me for less than a year. Nonetheless, I have a great relationship with him and I think he’d write a decent recommendation.
• My Debate Coach– Has known me for 3+ years and knows the application process. Can also arrange my transcripts from the school, and knows me really well. Recommendation would be decent as well.
TLDR; have to choose between a counsellor who has great authority in the school vs one who has known me longer.
Thank you!
++ can’t assign Principal because he’s away from school on a medical leave.
