<p>I want to ask my sophomore math teacher/old cross country coach for a recommendation. I knew her pretty well, and I think she would write a great recommendation for me. However, she moved last summer and now lives across the country. Can I ask her? Is there any sort of etiquette I should follow? I seriously have no idea how to go about this. (However, I have her email)</p>
<p>I'm getting my junior/senior Spanish teacher and my advisor at my internship to write recs as well, I think, if that matters at all.</p>
<p>I think it wouldn’t be a violation of etiquette to do so. But just one thing - many colleges require that teachers be junior/senior, so you may want to check to make sure.</p>
<p>We asked a teacher who is not teaching this year, also a soph teacher. DS called her and asked her if she would be willing to write. I’m sure you can e-mail her since it’s the only contact you have. Make sure to ask her if she wants any information about you, like a resume. Then you just have to enter her e-mail on the common app and I think they send her a link to upload her rec online. If a school does not use common app, you’ll have to send her the hard copy to use. </p>
<p>Re soph thing, I haven’t seen anywhere that limits it to jr/sr teachers. It’s generally rec’d that you use jr/sr, but if you think your soph teacher would be better, go for it. We did.</p>
<p>Okay, I will do. Yeah… only one of my school uses the Common App. So, it’s a little more hassle but it’s worth it. I know, junior year teachers are generally recommended, but I knew/got along with this teacher far better than my junior teachers, except maybe Spanish – but that’s my other teacher.</p>
