College Letter of Recommendations

 

Complete the Brag Sheet form found in SchooLinks to share information about yourself with counselors and teachers 

• Click on College->College Applications, then click Complete Brag Sheet on the left side of the page
• Please use the question, “Is there additional information you want us to know about you?” to include:
  • Clubs/activities that you participate in (or have participated in during high school).  Include what years you have participated and if you hold an officer position
  • Volunteer/Community Service work
  • Part-time jobs
  • Leadership experience

 

Have a conversation with teachers you would like to request a recommendation from to make sure they are comfortable with the request 

 

Request recommendations through SchoolLinks:

• Access your SchoolLinks account through eClass under Additional Resources
• Click on College then College applications
• If you have not yet added your colleges to your list, follow the instructions at the top of this page for doing so
• Choose the college and click Edit Application Details (the pencil icon)
• In the Teacher Evaluations section, click on Add Recommender
• Search for and select your teacher’s name from the list
• Click Next, then Add recommender

 

Make sure to request recommendations WELL in advance of the deadline - 10 school days should be the minimum

 

You do not need to specifically request Counselor Recommendations.  Once you pay for your transcripts, your counselor will also be able to see which of your colleges require counselor recommendations.
