Recommendation Packets

It is critical to get your request packets out as soon as possible. Be sure to ask the person writing on your behalf to read the directions (Guidelines for Writing Letters of Recommendation) carefully.

Hopefully, you have written the deadline date on the packet so that they know how soon you need the letter. After a week, check back with them to see if they have had a chance to write your letter. This is the hard part--you need to make several gentle reminders.
