When do students at your school typically ask? At some schools, teachers won’t commit to do recs after June of junior year. At others, most people don’t start asking until October of senior year.

If your counselor told you to go ahead and do it, you probably should because she probably has a reason. It sounds to me from your post like the rush to ask is at the beginning of the school year. Perhaps she knows that most of your teachers fill up quickly and then refuse to do more. I would follow her advice as your counselor.
