We would be pleased to write a letter of recommendation, but we need your help to complete the process. Please follow these guidelines and allow four weeks lead time prior to the deadline for this process to be completed. Before any letter will be written by the COUNSELOR/ADMINISTRATOR, you will receive an overview of the procedures in your senior Social Science class [Econ/Civics/Gov’t] by the Counseling Department. You will then need to make an appointment with your assigned letter writer to discuss your plans and provide the items indicated. Lack of providing the requested information or proper preparation may result in significant delays.
- College List [Form #1 Cover Sheet]—Complete the list of colleges you will be applying to utilizing the Common Application process, mailed applications or on-line recommendations along with their deadlines to your letter writer. When using the Common Application process, you must use the e-mail addresses provided above. Mailed recommendations require the secondary school report form be given to your letter writer along with an addressed envelope with two stamps.
- Student Questionnaire [Form #2: Personal Input] – Complete this form with as much detailed information as possible.
- Academic Resume [Form #3: Academic Resume]—Create a resume covering your academics, extracurricular activities, honors and recognitions.
- Teacher input Sheets [Form #4 Teacher Input] – Select four to five teachers that know your academic strengths and that can provide anecdotal information to your letter writer. Specifics will be included in this letter so it is imperative that you do not give a Teacher Input Sheet to any instructor you have asked to write you a Teacher Letter of Recommendation directly to a campus. This will cause duplication of information and weaken the value of both letters.
