Recommendation procedures—

 

Howdy,

 

Ok, here are the guidelines to help us both get through the college application nightmare J

 

  1. When you drop off your recs, please include some background info.  Particularly information about your performance in APUSH.  Obviously I will remember how well you did in class, however, certain details may have slipped my old mind:  semester event topic and grade, favorite project you performed outstanding on, exam grade etc.  Also include due dates.
  2. Please limit the number of requests to three.  Included in this is the teacher input form for the counseling department.  Best rule of thumb for this is if you ask for a letter of rec, go to another teacher for the teacher input form.
  3. Have the information on the forms filled out.  Name, addresses, signatures, etc.
  4. Please include self-addressed, stamped envelopes.
  5. The earlier, the better.  You would be surprised how many requests your teachers get for recommendations.  Don’t wait until the last minute to get the to your teachers.  November gets crazy.
  6. Brownies, brownies, brownies!!!

 

Good luck….lewis
