Senior Brag SHeet

Fill out a Senior Brag sheet to give to your counselor, teacher, and whoever else will be writing a letter of recommendation for you. This helps your recommenders write a detailed letter. You can also submit a resume to your recommenders as well.

Things to remember:

  • Ask your recommenders well in advance! At least 2 weeks ahead of time. Do not just put their email into an application portal without asking first.

  • Ask teachers who can write positive things on your behalf!

  • Teachers, coaches, employers, volunteer coordinators, and church members are all appropriate recommenders.

  • NO family members or friends should write letters or recommendation for you.
