If you plan to apply to private universities you will likely need a Counselor letter of recommendation and an official transcript. (NOTE: The CSU's and UC's do NOT need either unless requested by the university)

 

Letters are primarily written by our School Counselor, Mrs. Wong (DO NOT input your Guidance Specialist into the Common App).

 

Requests for Letter of Recommendation - 

 

Please provide a minimum of 3 weeks' notice, keeping in mind that that does not include holiday breaks. The following steps need to be completed by the student:

 

1. Fill out the Brag Sheet (attached below)

 

2. Complete the Letter of Recommendation Request Form and upload your brag sheet by the deadline listed.

 

3. You will then be contacted by Ms. Wong or another member of our Guidance Team, confirming your letter is assigned. At that time, you can enter your letter writer's info into the Common App.

 

4. Waive your FERPA Rights - Waiving your right informs colleges that you will not read your letter of recommendation later on. 

 

5. Student's may be called in by Mrs. Wong or another member of our Guidance Team for an interview so that we can get to know you better.
