College Planning

Requesting Letters of Recommendation

 Tips for making a request:
  1. Timing Start early and give your recommenders sufficient time to write a thoughtful letter. Early Fall is a good time to start identifying teachers you want to have recommend you.
  2. Who Academic recommendations need to come from teachers, counselor reports/recommendations need to come from your high school counselor, and character recommendations can be from those who know you best (non family) such as employers, coaches, community leaders, clergy, etc.
  3. What Fill out the Letter of Recommendation Personal Data Form and provide copies to your recommenders.
Make sure to show your appreciation by sending them a thank you note!
