How do I request a letter of recommendation?
You can request a letter of recommendation from your recommender right through the Common App. Request a letter from someone who can attest to your academic ability, such as a teacher, school counselor or faculty member.
If you have been away from formal classroom teaching for an extended period, you could ask your employer (preferably a supervisor or manager), a program or departmental trainer or an individual in an official instructional capacity. Remember to have a discussion with your recommender first to see if they are willing and able to provide a letter. Learn more about the required letter of recommendation.
