Letters of Recommendations and Brag Sheets
Letters of Recommendations are often required by certain colleges (mostly private colleges and universities), as part of the application process. These recommendations usually come from teachers and/or counselors. Club Advisors, coaches, employers, church and community leaders can also write a letter of recommendation for a student.
Follow these steps to request a letter of recommendation:
- Complete a brag sheet (available below). When completing your brag sheet you will need to be as thorough as possible. The more information you provide, the better!
- Ask your teachers/ counselor at least 2 weeks in advance of when you will need the letter.
- Give them a copy of your brag sheet; this will help them write your letter of recommendation and make it more personal.
- Don’t forget to show your appreciation with a simple thank you email.
