[quote=Anonymous]If the college asks, it's customary to do it. And I'd say you better do it. If a high school or high school counselor says, "this is the way it's done", you could go your own way, make your own decision, accepting the risk. I'm guessing for in-state Virginia college, the counseling staff may be signaling to Va colleges who would fit in where. Which, in our kids' case, I wouldn't agree with them. We waited for a counselor LOR because the HS said it was how's it done. Impatient, DS decided to take his chances without. It was an out of state school no others where applying to, so no other competition for HS classmates to get in (unlike the in-state Va collages, top ones, all are trying to prove why they should get in over their classmates) DS emphasized in the college application, leadership roles he had in HS, and what recommendations he had needed to get those roles.[/quote]
