Letters of Rec

These teachers are stressing me out. I asked for Recs in November and they are still sitting on their hands. Anyone else having this problem, will schools accepts later uploads? ugh…

Maybe remind them in person and in email? that happened to me too.

Many schools do. You can contact schools and tell them the situation.

Communicate with the schools you are applying to. You may want to let them know that 1. Your school sends few kids to private schools, so they are unfamiliar with and unprepared for this, 2. You made your original request in November and are working with teachers to meet the deadline.

Then make sure you are doing #2. If you did not do this when you asked, you may want to provide - with the reminder - a cheat sheet, outlining not just accomplishments but explaining why you are looking at BS and your dreams for it. Iow, make it easy for the teachers. This is a good and productive way to channel your stress.
