<p>First time 36</p>
<p>No I’m not as cool as you all. I got a 31 first time in June. Retaking in September ;)</p>
<p>First time I got a 33 (31, 36, 34, 32). One point away from a 34. Ugh. If I got it, then I wouldn’t be retaking. </p>
<p>I got a 34 my first time (34, 34, 34, 33)</p>
<p>Teacher: “Well guys you are all seniors! College is right around the corner. I hope most of you asked for teacher recommendations last year. Many of us will not have enough time to get to know you before the end of the admissions process.”</p>
<p>Student: “Aye yo teach!”</p>
<p>Teacher: “Yes Student?”</p>
<p>Student: “Lemme cop one o’ dem letters. Ya or nah?”</p>
<p>Me: =)) <em>Idiot</em> </p>
<p>Friend: :)] “Hold on, Hold on. Yes, Stupid police?”</p>
<p>—TRUE STORY</p>
<p>Would it be acceptable to just drop out of school at this point? I mean, school’s overrated anyway, y’know?</p>
<p>@CE527M, I’ll make you a deal:
You drop out first, let me know how it is, and I’ll follow if its up to expectations</p>
<p>BOT control is here to save the day. </p>
<p>My hero.</p>
<p>I keep getting answers all over the place on this question, so I want to know what you guys think:
When is the best time to ask for a recommendation, and how should you ask? What should you tell them when you do ask? I’m likely applying early to 2 or 3 schools with deadlines in November; should I ask as soon as I have the chance?</p>
<p>@codexsplanade Are you a senior? If so, the best time to ask would have been toward end of junior year… If you haven’t already asked, ask now. In person.</p>
<p>@elf4EVA I didn’t know where I wanted to go at the end of my junior year. I think I’m going to ask tomorrow.</p>
<p>I’ve already asked for both of my recommendations. I’m just glad that it’s out of the way.</p>
<p>I forgot all about teacher recommendations sigh. Do the teachers have to be from core subjects? My newspaper teacher knows a lot more about me than my english teachers…</p>
<p>I emailed one and asked one in person, and both are submitted already. Physics and ap lit</p>
<p>how many recs do we even need? 2???</p>
<p>@rllyrlyodd It depends on the school. Check their admissions websites.</p>
<p>I already asked 3 teachers for recs and I also asked for one outside rec. I got that out of the way in the beginning.</p>
<p>I asked one of my teachers for a rec a few days ago, he happily accepted. I think I’ll ask another teacher today!</p>
<p>Asking my French teacher for a letter of rec, Music teacher already said yes…wish me luck!</p>
<p>(or maybe not)</p>
