College Applications/Letters of Recommendation small medium large Filling out college applications? The following process MUST be followed if you want a letter of recommendation, counselor sections of college applications filled out, and/or official transcripts: • If you need a recommendation letter from your counselor or your teachers (teachers who know you well are best), fill out a recommendation request form before asking for a recommendation. Give the completed form to the person you need the letter from AT LEAST TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE. These forms are in the senior counselor office. * If your college application has a counselor section you need filled out, be sure your name is on the application and pencil in the date you are dropping it off (on the top of the front page), and put it in the labeled box in the senior counseling office. Put it there AT LEAST TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE of the date you need it sent to your college(s). • If you only need a transcript, pick up a transcript request form from the senior counseling office. There is a 2-3 day turn-around for transcripts. If you mark the box to pick up the transcript, don't forget to come by and get it! • We will return your forms and finished recommedation letter within 2 weeks. • If your application needs teacher recommendation letters, remember to attach those with your application when you mail everything to the college. Also, you must arrange your own teacher recommendations! • We MUST have a TWO-WEEK turnaround time, so do not procrastinate in this process. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "Common Application" is a general application form used by over 150 independent colleges that is available on-line. Some colleges/universities accept the Common Application. Check with the admissions office(s) at the college(s) you want to apply to and see if they accept it, or if they prefer you fill out their particular application.
