If you are new to a school, you have a few options as far as recommendations. Option one is to simply ask a teacher at your old school for a recommendation letter. There is no rule against this and in my experience students who transferred schools regularly sent in recommendations from their previous high school. This can make sense if you are transferring as a senior and may not have time for your teachers to get to know you (especially if you are applying to college Early Decision or Early Action). \r If you are transferring as a junior or sophomore, you will have plenty of time to get to know your new teachers. Just be patient and trust that you will be forging some wonderful new relationships with your new teachers and school counselor.
