I’m meeting with my guidance counselor, who is going to write all of my principal/counselor recommendations. I’ve never even seen her before, and I’m pretty sure no one has ever applied to a boarding school from my school. (I don’t live in the US and it’s not a very popular choice.) I was wondering what to tell her when I meet her. Should I tell her explicitly that I’m going to be applying and tell her what I need to do to get a good letter? Should I try to get to know her first and talk about something else that’s unrelated? Also, when should I send the request for a letter of recommendation? Should it be before I meet her, so I can mention it, or after?
