Many guidance counselor letters are pretty impersonal. Due to the sheer numbers at some schools, counselors don’t get the opportunity to know their students very well. Students are not penalized when this is the case. I’d suggest that you ask to meet with your counselor to discuss where you want to apply to college and at that time you can ask if there is anything you can provide him/her to help write your recommendation (ex. a resume, list of ECs etc.).
