US- Usually one or two teacher letters and/or a counselor letter; Only when requested/required Character reference, peer reference, pastoral reference
UK- One counselor Letter
Other countries- Usually don’t require. But check each school to be sure.
Decide on the teachers who you would like to write for you.
Complete request form and sign to wave your rights to view them. Attach your resume.
Bring the request form to the teach and ask them if they would be willing/able to write a good recommendation for you AT LEAST TWO WEEKS BEFORE DUE. Teachers have been told they are allowed to say no if you do not give them sufficient time.
If they agree, send a BridgeU request to them to submit their recommendation.
- Log into BridgeU
- In the left menu, find “Recommendations” Click on it.
- Click on “My Progress”
- Click on “New Recommendation”
- Complete the form and submit when ready. Change that email content to be personalized!
If applying through CommonApp or UCAS, you will need to sync your account with BridgeU so that all your documents in BridgeU can be sent. I will receive the references and be able to proof them before they are submitted.
