Some colleges will require one or two teacher recommendations in addition to the recommendation from the Guidance Counselor. Be sure to ask teachers well in advance so they have time to complete it in time. "Keep the ball in your court." Request it's completion by a certain date and check back with them.
DO NOT LET YOUR LACK OF PLANNING BECOME THE TEACHER'S/ COUNSELOR'S EMERGENCY!!
Some teachers may want the recommendation to be kept confidential -not for student's eyes. They may mail it in themselves or give it directly to the Guidance Counselor.
Students should later follow up with a Thank You note!
