Council Rock High School South
Guidelines for Requesting Letters of Recommendation from
Ms. Miller Hosey
Name: __________________________________
Date Needed: _____________
Applying to: _______________________________________________________________
Please note that it is my policy not to share the recommendation
with you. You must waive your right to see the recommendation
if you would like me to write it. Be assured that if I cannot
write you a good recommendation, I will let you know when
you make your request.
In case I need to get in touch (write
neatly):
Counselor: __________________________
Home phone: _________________________ Cell phone: _____________________
E-mail: _____________________________
Current English teacher: ______________________
Grades Earned (my class):
MP1 ______ MP2 ______ MP3 ______
MP4 ______ Final ______
Please include the following information
by question/topic number:
1. Why do you want me (versus another teacher) to write this
recommendation?
2. Specific topic(s) of any assignment (writing, discussion,
project), from the year in which you had me for English,
you are particularly proud of. This may
be creative or expository; however, it is good to show a balance. Also, write
what you feel is important for me to note about these. Feel free to write down
any mind-blowing passages from your writing or insight/point you presented. I
will quote you if I agree with your assessment. I do not want the entire assignment/essay.
3. List your major contribution to the classroom environment.
4. List three or four words that you feel accurately describe you as a person
and as a student.
5. Share any extenuating circumstances that prevented you from doing your best
work, i.e. an extremely busy schedule either because of work or activities or
course load, illness, etc.
Attach a resume or outline of your high school career (extracurricular activities,
honors, awards, leadership positions, community service…)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please provide me with the following:
- Complete answers to the above.
- Stamped, addressed envelopes (one for each institution)
- The school’s recommendation form (be sure to fill it out and sign it).
- Put everything together in one large envelope and write your name on the
front.
