Soliciting a Teacher's Letter of Recommendation

When a high school senior applies to college, they often need to submit teacher letters of recommendation or evaluation forms. College admissions offices use teacher letters and evaluations for insight into an applicant, seeking information, perspective, and stories that only come from a teacher. In this episode, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) uses his typical stories and illustrations to discuss April as an ideal month for students to broach the college letter of recommendation topic with their teachers. His comments are especially relevant to current juniors (members of the class of 2024).
