<p>Ok, sorry for making so many threads about this topic. I realize it can be annoying, it's just that deadlines are approaching and I need clarification. </p>
<p>I asked my professors if they would write a letter of recommnedation for me and they all said yes. But they told me that I needed to provide them with infomation about myself. The semester is almost over and I want to get this out of the way as soon as possible. </p>
<p>My questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>What imformation about myself do I give them.</li>
<li>The deadline is January 15 for all my schools, do I just tell them straight up? (I told them if they would write me a letter a few months back)</li>
</ol>
<p>It's just that I'm so confused because all they said was, "give me the details." Gahh what exactly does that mean? SO CONFUSED!</p>

<p>Thanks to anyone who can clarify my questions. Much will be apprecaited.</p>
<p>I gave them a copy of my resume. I also diplomatically told them my reasons for transferring in the meeting. </p>
<p>I would meet with your professors ASAP because January 15 is soon and soon after the end of the term grading and the holidays.</p>
<p>I made a cover letter for my professors, explaining the reasons why I wanted to transfer, ecs i was involved with on campus, and goals I hope to achieve at my new school. I would also give them at least one month to write it, so get on that!!</p>
<p>i gave mine resumes, copies of my transfer essays, and sat down with them for a short meeting and told them what i wanted them to highlight in their letters about me. i told them about my career goals and tried to explain why the next school would be better for that purpose. also, put post-it notes with the due date on it. i always put the date as a week earlier than the real date just in case something happens.</p>
