Letters of Recommendation

If you are here, you may want me to write a recommendation for you.  All requests for letters of recommendation must be initiated in a face to face conversation.  Please note that I will not take any paper or email requests for recommendation letters.  

The steps I require are

• Ask me in person.

• Fill out the  College Recommendation Information Google Form (2025) before you leave for summer break.  Forms that are not filled out prior to that time will be processed last.  If your form is submitted after August 1, I cannot guarantee I will finish your letter.

• Make sure you let me know EACH school you wish me to submit a recommendation.  If you add schools during the year, you must let me know you have done so.  Do not make the assumptions that Naviance will alert me. I may not know you have added schools, and may inadvertently miss a deadline should you not notify me.  

• If any school requires a separate website or portal, please inform me well in advance of the due date.  Such sites often require me to answer specific questions that are not on the common application, and may be quite a bit more than simply uploading your recommendation letter.  

• Keep me informed.  If I write a recommendation to you please afford the courtesy of letting me know where you are going.  I am devoting my spare time to aid you in this critical process, and I am sincerely wishing you success.  I would love to know where you decide to go.
