Q's About Teacher Rec's

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>So here's my list of q's about asking for teacher's recs</p>

<p>1) Should I include the names of all the colleges I'm applying to in my request letter? What if I need to make adjustments-add or subtract names from the list??</p>

<p>2) Should I include a detailed resume with all classes taken, EC's, awards or only info relevant to the class?</p>

<p>3) Should teachers put their recs together or be sent in separate envelopes?</p>

<p>4) Should the envelopes(yellow document size?) be addressed with the school's address or my personal address and should they accompany the request letter or given later?</p>

<p>5) How much $ worth in stamps should I put on the envelopes?</p>

<p>*I'm much appreciative for anyone who cares to answer my questions. While many of these are trivial matters, I just don't want to take chances and have not seen answers to them elsewhere. Thank You</p>

<p>I suggest you contact your high school guidance counselor, and the teachers in question. Each school has its own way of dealing with these details, and the teachers will let you know their preferences.</p>

<p>Same thing you do when you need to amend any other statement. Tell them.</p>

<p>As for the rest of your questions, ask the teachers. Each teacher does it a bit differently. You’ll want to do it the way they like it, because then they’ll be happiest with you.</p>

<p>Do the colleges care if the student sends them the teacher rec using his/her home address on the envelope, or will they take it more seriously if it’s sent on school letterhead in an envelope pre-printed with the school’s address?</p>
