First of all!
you should've already met with Ms. Ackerman and/or Mr. Lee at least once to talk about your college application, right?!
If you haven't, please book our counselors to talk about your plans!
Otherwise, we don't know what your plans are!
Second,
if you already talked with our counselors, you should know you need recommendation letters for application. So! you should know who to ask for it by now.
Third!!!
You should ask your possible recommender first if they can write you the letter or not before you put their name on your application process. If they don't respond, DO NOT wait till the last minute, you should ask other possible recommender just in case. Also, you should give your recommender at least 20days to finish your letter!
Fourth!!
Be nice and polite when you ask for recommendation letters! And don't forget to send a thank you note after everything is done! Your recommenders are doing you a favor! don't take others kindness for granted! Also IN GENERAL!!! :D
Are you keeping all these check points?
If you have any questions, you know where to find us!
