No idea what to do//recommendation

<p>I have my resume completed, and I've figured out who is doing my recommendation letters.</p>

<p>What do I give the teacher?</p>

<p>I know I give them my resume, but do I give them my essay?</p>

<p>Do I give them an envelope?</p>

<p>I don't know! =-o</p>

<p>That is the form. Do I give them one of those?</p>

<p>Help! Thanks! :-D</p>

<p>Give them whatever they need, the more the better. here's a list of stuff i gave to my teachers:</p>

<p>A list of all schools with deadlines
Addressed envelopes with stamps
copy of each U's forms, including common app
Resume (EC list)
filled out form my teacher gave me w/ question asking about strengths and weaknesses etc.</p>

<p>Do you include a letter what you want them to say, or it's self-explanatory?</p>

<p>Give the teachers the recommendation form, and a stamped envelope addressed to the college. Now I'm reading kinly's post - it's a good list. It's easier for the teacher if you give them all of the schools' forms/envelopes at once, with the deadline for each school clearly listed. The envelope should be a standard business envelope.</p>

<p>No, you don't need to tell the teachers what to say. If you are applying ED, tell the teacher - some teachers, if they have time/inclination, may want to work an acknowledgement that you are applying ED in to your ED school recommendation.</p>

<p>It depends on the school. For almost all, a regular business letter is ok but some schools have specific requirements. (ex. Columbia and Standford)</p>

<p>why would you give him/her a resume? the point of a teacher recommendation is for them to reflect on your personality, character, etc as a student. it's not supposed to be about what you do outside of the class.</p>

<p>You're right, a resume is not a big deal...but some teachers like it because it helps give perspective. Anyways, it can't hurt.</p>

<p>ok i have a question so you give them the teacher evaluation form they only need 1 copy right..and they can photocopy them and hand sign it when they send it out right?</p>

<p>Right. They only need one copy of the Common App form, plus the individual forms of whatever other schools you're applying to.</p>
