Letters of Recommendation:
Ask the person if they are willing to write you a letter of recommendation.
If they say yes, ask them if they prefer a paper or electronic version of your brag sheet.
Give them a due date. Pick a day several days before the official due date. You should give them at least 2 weeks to write your letter.
Follow up a couple of days before the due date to remind them.
After they send it or give it to you, thank them!
Brag Sheets:
A brag sheet is place for you to tell the person writing your recommendation about your accomplishments and struggles. You don't want to make your letters of recommendation a repetition of your application so it is important to include personal stories. The better and more thoroughly you answer these questions, the better your letter of recommendation will be!
