Letter of Recommendation Instructions

Not every school requires letters of recommendation by a teacher or counselor. Research the school you are applying to before you request a letter. If you know you need a letter/ form, you should speak with or email your teacher at least three weeks before the deadline. It is best to communicate this information before senior year as counselors and teachers are incredibly busy when the school year begins.

When you request a letter of recommendation, please provide the following information:

• A resume that includes course work, GPA/ rank, community and extracurricular involvement.
• Submission deadlines for EACH institution
• Remember to say thank you!

Please see screenshot below of where to ADD TEACHERS in SchooLinks to request your recommendation.
