    • Upon completion of the counselor recommendation form, you will be prompted to select an appointment time with your counselor.
    • Many colleges allow you to use an alternate recommender in lieu of the counselor letter. Please check with your colleges' specific policies. If you are planning to use an alternate recommender, please notify your counselor and we will provide you with the necessary paperwork. Some examples of an alternate recommender: administrator, school staff member, job supervisor, club advisor, community leader, religious affiliate, etc.
