- Allow at least 3-4 weeks for teachers to complete their recommendation portion of your college application!
- Students “invite” their teachers to upload and send letters of recommendation in two steps:
- Provide teachers with a copy of your “TEACHER RECOMMENDATION INFORMATION FORM” and include on the form the deadline date of your first application that requires their letter of recommendation.
- Make sure your college has been added to the “Colleges I’m Applying To” tab. Click on the Recommendation tab immediately below.
- IMPORTANT: ASSIGN YOUR TEACHERS TO SPECIFIC SCHOOLS, NOT “All Applications”.
- It is your responsibility to research which schools require a letter of recommendation on their website.
- If they do not ask for a letter of recommendation, they do not use it in the admissions process. DO NOT ASK YOUR TEACHER FOR ONE IF THIS IS THE CASE!
