I am a rising junior, I have about 1 month of school left this year. I was planning on really getting a jump ahead on the college app process. I was wondering if I had a recommendation or two would they roll over onto the 2018 common app? I’d really like to ask for my recs and get those out of the way but I don’t know if they will disappear.
I’d strongly recommend that you wait until this time next year to ask teachers for recommendations. 1) Colleges generally prefer to see junior year teacher recommendations (although one from sophomore year is probably fine) 2) teachers will be focused on providing recommendations for rising seniors at this time.
Oh wait shoot I meant a rising senior lol.
You’re not really ahead of the curve. In my school, letters for rising Seniors are due in Guidance by the end of school in June. They were requested about six weeks ago.
Please, request them right away.
