Some university applications will ask that you provide a letter of recommendation by a teacher, counselor, or another adult. This needs to be someone who knows you well and will say positive things about your character, your work ethic, and your overall awesomeness. This will need to be someone NOT related to you.
When asking someone for a letter of recommendation, you will need to show them respect by giving them enough time to be able to thoughtfully write something out on your behalf and still get it in on the deadline. So the rule of thumb is to ask and then give that person at least a month ahead of the deadline. Also, make sure you give them information about where the letter needs to be sent. Here's is a link for a brag sheet that you can fill out to give to the person that is writing the letter of recommendation.
You will need to:
- Ask them in person
- Give them a copy of your Letter of Recommendation - Worksheet
- Put in an official request through Major Clarity
