recommendation letter

<p>saw this HUGE thread about recommendation letters and this is what i got from it.</p>

<p>i'm a junior..and want to ask my teachers recommendation letters before summer so they have plenty of time.</p>

<p>so i HAVE to sign up common application, print out "teacher evaluation form".. then give one to the teachers that i want. THen tell them which colleges u want them to send it to so they can make photocopies.. provide each of them with equal number of stamped envelops..</p>

<p>am i missing anything??</p>

<p>and so my question is...what to do after this? like what happens if the colleges get the recommendation. I mean i didn't like even start my application process (besides this recommendation letter thing), so when colleges get a random person's recommendation letter, what happens??? Do they just store it for later use or w/e?? and how do i know if the college gets it or not? Do they like make me an account or something? iono..if u guys know what i mean..</p>

<p>sorry, its kinda long, but i'm just stumped and running out of time.</p>

<p>i think youre rushing too much…
give the teachers youre planning to ask a heads up before summer that you’ll be asking them to write your rec letters, handing them a resume. then some teachers will ask for a cover letter. the second week ish of september, go to your teacher with the common app form and your final transcript. this will usually give your teachers time.</p>

<p>you know there’s somebody told me
“oh i just recommend you to write it yourself and ask your teacher to sign on the letter”</p>
