Tips to Ask for Recommendations

Perhaps you are a high school senior, and three of the colleges on your list require recommendations. Or you may be a high school student intent on attending a particular summer science camp or that prestigious debate program, and the applications also require a teacher recommendation.

So how do you go about asking for a letter? Do you:
A) Barge into a teacher’s classroom three days before your application is due to ask them to help your write a letter?
B) Carefully check your application deadlines and schedule a meeting with a teacher as early as possible to ask for a recommendation?

If you chose B, check out the article “Need Teacher Recommendations? Here’s How to Get Them” for additional details on the process.
