Hi AVID Seniors-

 

Please make sure you provide a completed Brag Sheet to EACH person you ask to write a letter of recommendation for you.  This will help the writer (even if they know you very well) to write a fantastic and well-rounded letter for you.

 

Also, make sure you are asking politely with plenty of time for the teacher to write the letter for you.  You need to make sure you provide them with all the information needed (college name, address, envelope with a stamp if needed to be mailed, brag sheet, due date, etc.).  I recommend giving the writer at least three weeks to write their recommendation.  If the letter needs to be sent electronically, make sure you provide explicit instructions as to how to turn in the online recommendation.
