<p>How can I politely ask my counselors/teachers to get the recs in soon, I gave it to them exactly one month and two days ago and they haven't submitted yet? What is the best way to give a little nudge and ask them to hurry because it's for Michigan and the earlier the better</p>
<p>bump …</p>
<p>My son sent an email to a teacher he had asked for a rec. and it helped since she had just been so busy she had totally forgotten. When she received the message, she had it ready the next day. In your message you can remind her that it is for <strong>U and the deadline is</strong>_. Either that, or stop in her class to see her in person…my son’s teachers seemed to enjoy the personal visit. 
Good luck to you!</p>
