[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that mine are done - one in college, another heading to her ED college in the Fall - wanted to check in to see how y'all are doing.
Lots and lots of great information on this site.  
Is your DC planning visits, getting a feel for the basics like urban/rural/large/small, researching majors, deciding where/how to demonstrate interest, scheduling AO interviews if offered or finding out when those open, prepping for SAT/ACT, [b]asking teachers for LOR's,[/b] thinking about main essay and supplemental essay ideas, creating a resume, researching costs, getting a sense of where/what their admissions chances are etc etc
I wish you all the best and I know there are many on this site that feel the same![/quote]

Are they supposed to be asking for LOR's now (spring of junior year?)

My son knows of 4 schools he wants to apply to, only two require LORs--and both require two LORs.   Purdue (engineering) and Colorado School of Mines.

He has 3 teachers he is considering asking.   Does he just ask for a "generic" LOR that can be copied for multiple applications?

Our college freshman asked his teachers for LORs in May of his Junior year, they said yes. Then in August he followed up with them via email and included his brag sheet (this is a template from guidance) and let them know where he was applying. The teachers took it from there. [/quote]
