<p>Hi everyone. Right now, I'm a junior so I can't really fill out xommon app yet. But I have a problem-2 of my teachers, my ap Chem and APUSH teachers, are retiring this year. I'm doing pretty well in their classes and I heard they write stupendous recommendations. So my question is, can I get teacher recs in may? I know the essay is probably ok but what about the official common app rec form? I don't want to bother them in their retirement</p>
<p>xmsamurai, our school district offered early retirement incentives due to budget issues, and my S had a lot of former teachers retire. He ended up asking his APUSH teacher he had both sophomore and junior years (who retired at the end of the junior year) to provide a teacher recommendation. He also discussed it first with his guidance counselor at school to make sure this was okay. The retired teacher was happy to provide a recommendation.</p>
