Hi! In regards to your personal recommendation question, they want to see someone who knows the applicant very well, and I know most people choose an outside of school person for this. This can be a trusted adult, maybe someone you mentor/volunteer under, or also an instructor unaffiliated with the school who’s known your child for many years. For example, my personal recommendation is my foreign language instructor who has known me from a young age, but I’m also submitting a special interest recommendation from my violin teacher of many years, since music is something I’ve highlighted the most on my application. Neither are affiliated with my school, but are teachers nonetheless.

You do not have to submit your special interest recommendation to your sports coach, but if sports is your hook, or maybe something that you’ve mentioned or plan to in your essays, I would suggest sending it to them. However, since you’ve said that Art and Design is a major interest, it will be great to send that in!

Hope this helps a bit!
