DEADLINE: For Seniors Requesting Letters Of Recommendation

10/5/2012
Letters of recommendation – If you’re applying to a private college or university, you probably need letters of recommendation from your GLC and two academic teachers. The first step is to download the “School Profile” from www.dbhs.org (Guidance, then Class of 2013, then “SENIOR INFORMATION Senior Profile Directions Class of 2013”). This form allows you to tell the people writing letters for you all about yourself and the accomplishments and experiences you’ve had both on and off campus – spend time working on this so your GLC and teachers can write the best possible letter for you. The second step is to deliver the school profile and your Personal Statement (at least a rough draft) in a manila envelope directly to your GLC and teachers (you must hand it to them directly). You should list all schools you are applying to and the deadlines for those schools on the outside of the envelope under your name. Please follow the directions given to you during your summer appointment with your GLC. The instructions are listed under “How to package letter of recommendation requests for your GLC” and are in the green packet you received this summer titled “Steps to Follow When Applying to a 4-Year University.” The absolute deadline to turn in a letter of recommendation request is October 5th, but you are strongly encouraged to deliver them sooner. No letters are required for UC or CSU schools.
