Letter of Recommendation Process
obtaining a Letter of Recommendation from your school counselor:
Find out if the school requires (vs recommends/suggests) a LOR from your school counselor.
Fill out the Brag Sheet form with as much info as you can. You will need to upload your academic resume as part of this form.
Come up to counseling and use your counselors QR code to set up an appointment.
TIPS:
- Don't request a letter the week before your application is due
- DO start the process 6-8 weeks before your application is due AND do your BRAG Sheet and send in your Academic Resume and Formal Letter of Request
- Don't miss your appointment(s) if one is scheduled
- DO reschedule your appointment in advance if you discover you have a conflict
- Don't have your parents/guardians schedule your meetings
- DO treat these as formal requests and meetings
- DO remember to express your gratitude to anyone who writes you a LOR (Teacher, Counselor, Principal, Community Member) ...no one is required to write you a letter of recommendation and they do it on their own time. Gratitude is important and can enhance the good feelings in case you need a second or different LOR from that same person.
