Teacher & Counselor Recommendations

Here are some guidelines that should help you secure better recommendations

  • Start early.  Your teachers and counselors are swamped, so give them plenty of time.
  • Give your teachers and counselors all the necessary materials, including your application deadlines and stamped, addressed envelopes or a link to online recommendations.
  • Waive your confidentiality rights.
  • Pick your recommenders wisely.  Don't pick a teacher just because you got an A in his or her class.  It's important that the teacher or counselor knows you well.
  • Promptly send a thank-you note to each person who gives you a recommendation.
