<p>Does Northwestern accept other letters of recommendation from people besides teachers? And if so, instead of having them fill out actual evaluation forms provided by the application, can I just ask them to write their own letter and seal it in an envelope and give it to my counselor to put in my file? Thanks.</p>

<p>someone else just asked this, you’d have to call the admissions office for the definitive answer, but when i applied as a transfer, one of my recs (of the required two) was from a teacher and one was from my counselor.</p>
<p>Someone else asked about a letter of rec from a TA, which i think might be different than a counselor, since they are not really adults and still students.</p>
<p>I think though, they would like at least two recs to be from academic faculty, IE: counselor/teacher but i’m not sure on this, try calling.</p>
<p>and it’s totally fine to have them fill out their own letter of rec and sign and seal it themselves, they don’t have to use the form provided</p>
