When should I ask for teacher recommendations?

<p>Just like the questions asks above. I know I should do it early but how early is early? Does this mean like the first week of school or what?</p>

<p>I emailed my teachers the week before school started (School had ‘opened’ and teachers are required to check in every day, and I knew they’d check email then) last year. I wanted to beat the ‘rush’ of people, and as a result, they wrote my recommendations first.</p>

<p>Oh I see thanks.</p>
