Letters of Recommendation
Counselor Recommendation & School Report
If you are applying to a school that requires a school report form and/or counselor recommendation, please read the following. This applies most commonly to schools using Common App, SENDedu, or The Coalition Application.
- First, add your counselor as a Recommender in the platforms you are using. Be sure to sign your FERPA waiver!
- Second, confirm if you are applying to a school that requires a counselor recommendation.
- Third, only a handful of schools require a Counselor Letter of Recommendation. If this is the case, please complete your individual counselor's letter of recommendation form (see below for links) and include a list of the schools that require a customized letter from your counselor. This must be received at least 10 working days prior to your deadline*.
Please Note: You must give counselors a MINIMUM of 10 working days prior to your first due date to complete any required actions. Last-minute requests will not be moved ahead of other students who came first. Please carefully plan for deadlines to avoid unnecessary issues.
*Due to the quick turnaround time, for October 15th deadlines, you must invite your counselor and complete the form (if needed) by October 7th.
