| Getting Great Recommendations |
|||||||||||||||
| 1. Teacher Recommendations are one of the most important elements in your application.� It is the teachers who provide the colleges with insights about your intellectual self.� They will describe your work habits, your academic passions, and your contributions in the classroom.� Colleges rely heavily on teacher recommendations to give flesh to the statistical skeleton they see on your transcript.� In the Spring of your Junior year, you will need to request two (2) teachers to write letters of recommendation for you. |
|||||||||||||||
| 2. The School Recommendation often referred to as Secondary School Report or Counselor Report should be given to your guidance counselor after all personal information is complete as soon as possible.� This recommendation gives an overall view compiling information from teachers, peers, coaches, parents and personal knowledge of the student.� (If you have not scheduled your fall interview with your counselor, you must do so as soon as possible.) | |||||||||||||||
| 3. Other Recommendations from coaches, employers, or character reference should be given to your advisor so they can be included in the application packet. | |||||||||||||||
| 4. The usual rule is no more than 2 recommendations from outside in addition to the 3 required faculty/school recommendations. | |||||||||||||||
