<p>I’m just about to start my fall semester, but I’m applying to a couple schools as a spring transfer. Since it’s my first year, I was wondering if it would still be okay if I used a high school teacher as a recommendation on the common app? I don’t think I have enough time to build a relationship with any member of staff at my college that would be able to write a good and honest recommendation letter for me.</p>
