At my school (a public school), every student is required to complete a very detailed questionnaire of what we want our teacher recommendations to say. In essence, the student/parent crafts the substance of the letter and the teacher adds/subtracts to it where necessary. Ditto for counselor recommendations. The end product is replete with stories, anecdotes, personal details, etc. And yes, many at my school get admitted to the Ivys, so it must be working.
She is so right! One more tip-if you are trying to decide between two teachers, pick the one that is organized and on time. If one of your picks is always late, it’s likely your letter will also be late.
be careful using your phone in class using the school wifi. i did that, my english teacher saw and she got infuriated with me. that could’ve happened, maybe they know u in social media or they’re just cold naturally😔
I have written recommendations for 15 years now, and this is the first year where students have told me what they’d like me to write about, and it felt pretty presumptuous when they requested those specific details, considering how much experience I as a teacher bring to the process. It is weird to me that a student would ask a teacher to write a recommendation yet include the implication that the same teacher doesn’t know what should actually go in the letter. For the most part, all the other suggestions you gave are so helpful. I would add that I like for the student to send me a copy of their college essay in addition to a resume/activity list so that what I say expands the scope of their application rather than retelling the same stories they might tell in their essay. And...I haven’t watched the junior video yet, but can you please let them know that how they behave in class MATTERS and shapes a recommendation. Engagement in discussion and class activities, demonstrating respect to one’s peers and teachers, meeting deadlines, resisting shortcuts, and even displaying self-control with regard to cellphone use all make significant impressions on a teacher who may be writing your recommendation. Thank you for your videos - you deliver a lot of helpful content!
Hi Lydia-- Thanks for your feedback. Not trying to tell kids to be presumptuous-- so sorry that's what this has possibly led to. What motivates my advice, in part, is the idea that a student might feel something is missing in their application that a particular teacher could speak to and to help a teacher understand that speaking to that topic may be of more help to that student. I apologize if this video has resulted in students seeming demanding or presumptuous.
I’m a counselor and writing letters is not a teachers job! They often take their own time after school or on the weekends writing them. Students are not entitled to a letter so please be gracious and humble when asking for a letter.
Thanks Valerie, I wish this was understood more. Regardless of the person in this video saying so, there is nothing in my job description that says I have to write any LoR. I do it for those who deserve it, however. And usually those that do have the humility and worldview to understand they're being served by someone who cares about them.
It's different for every college some is test optional some is not but I suggest you to take it no matter what it will help. You can register at the college board
When it comes to a CV, which literally means "Course of Life" from the Latin "Curriculum Vitae" it is a lot like in a court case with opposing attorneys who are more or less of equal ability. Whoever tells the best story wins. In my case, for my part I'm reconnecting with old faculty whom know one thing about me which jogs their memory and can speak to that point of information. Then I've one man whose known me longer than my college professors and I work for him today. He will sum up what the other two will allude to.
3rd position,letssss get itttt!!. Btw-I am student living in Nigeria,but I want to apply for FALL 2021.When am I supposed to start applying to colleges?

Thank you so much for this....very very helpful.....just one thing is being in a country where proficiency in English is just for the english teacher and other teachers make some quite severe mistakes on grammar like use of tenses, i am very afraid of what to do.....the teachers that really know me are the stem teachers but theres this problem.......can anybody please help me
Can someone help me with a place to find a resume to fill out for a letter like this? I have teachers already I’m just stuck on where to fill out my resume or where to find a template for one.
I attended one school for 5 years where I completed my IGCSE and I am currently at a new school where I am doing my A levels. Can I ask my teachers from my previous school to write the recommendation letter?
Does gender and race matter for the adults you ask? Should I consider that kind of diversity? I know a teacher that went to Yale, which is one school I am applying to. Is that beneficial at all?
The thing is I'm graduated and no one can write me a letter of recommendation (in English). I'm thinking of writing them myself and ask people in streets for favours xD
Hi Supertutor TV, I am not sure whether sending electronic edition will ruin my credibility? Because some of my teachers suggest me to submit an hard copy with the signature.
Is it ok to ask multiple teachers for letters of recommendation and then choose your favorite or do they go straight to colleges without you looking at them?
You invite the teachers usually through an online emailed link. They fill out the form and it then is sent to the college. You don't get to "review" the letter. Though teachers who pull the "write me a letter and I'll sign it" will tell you that up front so in such cases you can move along. You can also ask different teachers for different applications if that is appropriate (and it sometimes is for ex if your teacher is an alum of where you're applying).
I had a bachelor of Arts in philosophy from the university of Benin in Nigeria, and I intend to pursue computer science degree at Harvard,do I need to go to my high school for a letter of recommendation since I left the school since 2008? Please note that I am not going for a master degree at Harvard but a second degree. And do I need to write sat subjects test since I have already gotten a degree?
@Hannah Henris I wish to mention my past degree because I want it to be part of my essays to Harvard,also I want to continue with philosophy in that I am going for a double honor at Harvard - philosophy and computer science. The sat is much available here in my country Nigeria. Do you think not mentioning my past degree will help my application? Please I need your thought on that.

And can you connect me with any admissions officer -or experience college advisor? Thanks in advance.
I dont understand this. I dont really know anyone, but how can I be recommended if they don't even know me at all? I haven't been in college for years.
Is it too early to ask for one in February? Or should I wait for March/April/May? Just an FYI, the teacher I'm planning to ask is leaving the university for the last 5 weeks of the semester. So probably in early March. He will come back for our final presentation but he will be gone for the last month and a half of the semester. That's why I thought it'd be appropriate to ask for one now because I'd assume leaving the university will be time-consuming, etc but at the same time - IDK if it's too early as many videos say right before summer break or right after the school year starts (this is also my final year of bachelors hence there won't be a next "start" of the year and the teacher will be gone even if I did anyway).
As long as these 5 colleges have the same guidelines (e.g. they want 2 letters from academic teachers from junior/senior year) you can attach and send the same ones to multiple colleges on the common app.
hi, is it a great choice to start studying for sat at 9th grade at term 2 for a perfect score I'm an 8th grader moreover, I'm not willing to take the psat what do u think?
I recommend starting 10th grade because you won't really know enough math to do well (I saw my PSAT scores rise over time mosty because I learned more math).

I have a science teacher who has known me for two years and loves me but isn't the best writer, and I have an AP English teacher who also loves me and is a much better writer: how important is it to have a recommender from the field you're applying for??
It’s crazy how many sacrifices you have to make in order to impress college admissions. I wouldn’t want to take away classes that I enjoy just to take aps and convine colleges I’m good enough
most teachers wouldn’t feel offended. in fact, if she was willing to have a self study period for german because she has band and aps, i think that shows she is still really interested in German enough to sacrifice her lunch time to study it! i do also think it stinks tho that you have to sacrifice some classes to take aps but it is what it is
@La Campanella Usually, you don’t (ever) get to see the letters. Your teachers and counselors send them directly to the colleges. So you won’t get to pick the “best” ones.

Hi, i am from India and I have been regularly watching your videos and I love them so much. Just wanted to take an opinion on this: I am planning to apply for a psychology major. For the LoR, I am confused who to ask because on one side is my psychology teacher who knows how much I love the subject. On the other side is my class teacher (basically home room teacher who also teaches me Political Science) who knows a completely different aspect of me in terms of sports and leadership and all extra and co curricular activities. I am completely split between who to a choose because I know both of them are good story tellers as well. It would be great if you could help me out 😅
You can always slow down the speed of the video by clicking on the gear in the lower right hand corner. This way you can run it and a half speed if it is going too fast for you. There is no speed that is perfect for everyone.
Hi Brook. My name is Victor, and I learned a lot from your video of how to apply to colleges. I have a problem, and I am hoping you could help me. I just find out I got rejected from Stanford. That was my dream school. I thought for sure I got in because I found an online company that sells stress balls to relieve people's stress. I saw other webinars that taught you how to be exceptional, and not just doing what most applicants do, which is just getting good grades, good SAT scores, and activities most applicants do. I thought most applicants don't found online companies because this is something that is unique since most applicants don't do online companies. They just do activities most people do in schools, which is whatever clubs have at school. So I thought I got in Stanford because I did something exceptional and most applicants didn't do. But somehow I still got rejected. Could you give me reasons why Stanford rejected me? I am sure you could tell me since you are an expertise in college admissions. If you serve in the committee that recruits students, then you must tell me. Could you also give me suggestions what kind of activities I should join so I could get into Stanford. Also could you tell me this: is it because Stanford get a sense my online business doesn't generate any sales so it rejected me. But how would they know. Or they psyche me out and know. Could you tell me about this too. Please email me. Thank you for your attention Brooke.
Offhand I would say check your grammar, word choice and spelling… it could be your level of fluency or TOEFL… but Stanford overall is highly competitive and excellent candidates sometimes get rejected

I was literally just stressing about this and asking my friend who graduated last year for some advice. How ironic! And very needed. Thank you :)
HIII I HV A QUESTION PLS , IS IT NECESSARY TO WRITE THE DATE IN THE RECOMMENDATION LETTERS?
You definitely don’t know what ironic means….maybe you weren’t ready for graduation
This is the part of college application that I’m the least excited for. I could see myself working up the courage to ask one teacher, but who knows.

It is written on all the college website.

Me: has already asked for my teacher’s recs
Also me, watching this video: hm, I see

Do letters of Recommendation have to be mainly by teachers? Like would it be okay to ask Boy Scout Scout Master/Assistant Scout Master etc?
I believe there is an option for external LORs in the Common App, depending on your university. You might be able to pop one in there
