@willwu24 if you want to swap teachers you will need to ask each school. Be aware that this will absolutely increase the complexity of applying because not all schools allow the same swaps. If that’s the case, then that means you can’t just have one recommendation in gateway or SÃO go everywhere. It’s a logistical hassle for you and the recommenders who are being swapped in. (My DD English teacher went on early maternity leave so she had to swap last year and schools varied in who they would accept. It was the biggest hassle of the application season frankly.)
But if your English teacher really just won’t do it then you may have no choice.
