Letters of recommendation are an important part of many university applications. Counselors write letters of recommendation for each student who will be applying through the Common Application or some other application portal for private and out-of-state universities. (UC’s and CSU’s do not accept letters of recommendation.) Students need to inform counselors of their intent to apply to a private and/or out-of-state university in a timely manner. Seniors must turn in their College Document Request Form, along with the required documents submitted to Naviance Student (the Student Brag Sheet, Parent Brag Sheet, Resume) before a counselor may begin working on their college application documents.
