LETTERS OF RECOMENDATION

January 23, 2020

​

Letters of recommendation are important to the admission office because they tell things about your character that test scores and CV cannot. This is why when you ask for recommendations, you want to ask people who can describe your skills, accomplishments, and personality with positivity and enthusiasm.

Consider your high school counselors, favorite teachers or if you had a job, employers that you have a good relationship with. Also, try to ask one of your teachers from junior year or a current teacher, as colleges often want a current academic perspective on you. If they agree, provide them with a list of achievements they can reference to in their recommendation. Make sure to give your references plenty of time before the deadline to complete and send letters.
