b) after the teacher sends in the recommendation to your first school
c) after the teacher sends in the recommendation to all of your schools
d) after you have received a decision from your first school
e) after you have received a decision from all schools
f) other</p>

<p>How?
a) thank-you card
b) thank you card & gift -- flowers? chocolates? I don't know -- help me? :/
c) other</p>

<p>When?
After the teacher sends in the recommendation.</p>

<p>How?
Thank-you note.</p>

<p>I say after the teacher sends the recommendation you can write a thank you card but gifts seem too much</p>

4

<p>although I said "thank u" after knowing the teachers have completed the letters and sent them to colleges, I think I may leave my thank u note in their mailbox after college things are done :D</p>

<p>I gave my counselor and teacher bottles of pear vinegar after they sent in the recs.</p>

6

<p>I've heard somewhere that some people give souveniers from their destination college when they return from break</p>

<p>give a small gift with thank you card like 2-3 weeks after you ask them. If they haven't written them already, it might make them feel "guilty"</p>
