What should I ask teachers regarding letters of recommendation?

When requesting a letter of recommendation from your teachers, be clear about what you need and provide helpful details. Share:

- Program details: Let them know which university or program you’re applying to and its focus.
- Selection criteria: Provide the qualities or skills the program values.
- Your achievements: Give them your resume or a summary of key academic and extracurricular accomplishments.
- Personal statement or goals: Briefly explain your motivation for applying.
- Submission info: Tell them the deadline and how the letter should be submitted.

This helps your teachers write a strong, personalized letter to support your application.
