[quote=Anonymous]Yes.  The letter of rec from the guidance counselor, as well as the two teacher recs, is one of the most important components of the application.  It tells admissions officers how this student is perceived, how they have contributed, what kind of person they are, from persons of authority.
Regardless of how your school does it, IMO your child can send an email to their guidance counselor (different versions highlighting different things) giving them info that they can cut and paste into their rec letter.  They will appreciate and will most certainly use it as a primary resource.  It gives you some amount of important input.
You can google this but give them lots of descriptive information about who you are, what motivates you, how what you did in HS will influence the kind of contributor you will be to the college community, why particular classes were so meaningful for you (for teacher recs), etc.
Do this generally in late spring of junior year but now is not too late
good luck[/quote]
