<p>When is a good time to ask a teacher for your letter of rec?</p>
<p>I'd say end of junior year to give the teacher a heads-up.</p>
<p>what about papers, resume and like cover letter? next year?</p>
<p>I told my calc teacher about my MIT rec one week before it was due for EA! Luckily, she knew my dilemma about visiting there and not wanting to apply early until I had been there. 65 bucks is a lot of money when you are a poor high school senior!!! I gave the rest of my teachers about two months, and I think they did fairly well with that time frame. I only didn't get into one school. Two or three months seems to be the norm. At the beginning of senior year.</p>
