Hello, does anyone have any advice or knowledge on what someone should do if they attend an online school and are applying to a college or university that requires academic teacher recommendations? I don’t really know my teachers, so I am not sure how great of a recommendation that came from them would be. Are common app recommendations in letter format, or are they more factual? Thank you!
Email the teacher of a class you’ve done well in, and ask them politely if they would be willing to write a college admission’s letter of recommendation for you. Mention that you will be happy to send a follow-up email with more information about yourself.
Be ready to send your teacher a list of any volunteer work, any honors or awards, any part-time jobs held, strongest characteristics, etc.
You can goggle “senior brag sheet” to get ideas on what you should send your teacher. That way they will know more about you and be able to write a more personalized letter. Good luck!
Thank you so much!!! That is a great idea! Perhaps, I will send them a portfolio
