[quote=Anonymous]Don't know the policy in your DC's school. But my son goes to a large public school which has a policy that limits two recommenders per student. Most of the high demand teachers (e.g., STEM and humanities) tend to get a lot of requests by early spring. Some of them limit themselves to 5-6 requests since it is a significant time commitment for teachers. There are also teachers who don't accept LoR requests till fall of senior year. So understand the school policy and teachers own policy while deciding when to request. Finally, none of the senior year teachers are going to write an LoR since they don't know your DC well enough when the LoR is due. So at a minimum they should identify their 2-3 recommenders by early spring and try to establish a rapport with them so they can write meaningful personalized feedback in their LoR.[/quote]
