when is the right time to ask for college recomendations?

<p>I want to apply for early action and regular decision for colleges.
I only completed the common application forms and wrote my college essay. I have done any counselor related work yet.. like asking for recomendations from teachers n counselors.
Whens a good time to start asking?
Immediatley as in tomorrow or..... wait?</p>

<p>ACtually you should have alerady asked. They need time to get them out. My son asked his teachers in September of his senior year</p>

<p>Immediately. Don’t wait any longer or your teacher might be writing too many recommendations and will choose to reject you. Or your teacher/counselor might be pressed for time since the EA/ED deadline is 11/1 so he or she might write a very generic recommendation.</p>
