i'm home schooled, what do i do then? i was thinking of having my Boss write one, and maybe a manager write the other. i figured having my mom write one is the worst thing possible, but there really is nobody else.

would maybe the paster where i volunteered work? i helped for a couple years, but haven't lately...

i'm really at a loss

@knightsintodreams Go for as many LORs as you can. You're thinking rightly.

[knightsintodreams]

@PreCollegeCoach thank you! ok one last quick question (sorry! literally no one else to ask) where do i tell them to send them? I was thinking of giving my LORS the email to the college (they probably have one relating to apps) and have them email the letters including my name and info so the college knows who it's about and why they're even getting it. Would the college be able to link those letters to my application? And should i submit my app before they send the LORS or does it matter?

[PreCollegeCoach]

@knightsintodreams It doesn't really matter. Colleges prefer snail-mailed letters with signed and sealed envelopes from the writers, not from you. Default = call each college and ask their policy on this issue. You won't go wrong. Good luck!

How many recommendation letters would you say suffices in a college application?

[PreCollegeCoach]

@MissBio2222 Get as many as you can from outside the high school, but send only what the college requires. Some college want you to send in only two letters, others will read every letter that is submitted. Check with each school for their EXACT requirement. Following directions is a big PLUS in getting admitted.

awesome, will do!!

@08Suburban You nailed it.

Seriously my guess is you get accepted because you can pay. The acceptance letters have rolled into my home and I have regular kids. All you have to do is decline to fill out the FAFSA and sign a waiver and they happily admit you. The other really helpful thing is to follow the instructions on the application. If a school gets everything at the same time you are less likely to get lost in the shuffle.

@MissBio2222 The standard is two letters, one from a teacher and one from a guidance counselor who doesn't even know you; or, a letter from two teachers. Hope this helps.
