** Innovative Approach **

Counselor Recommendation Guide

The organized narrative structure is broken into these parts:

Distinctive Qualities

This is your narrative section, where you introduce the key takeaways you want the reps to, well, take away, about your student. Keep it to a paragraph, maybe two.

Academic History

Bring on the bullet points. This is where you give, in bite-sized pieces, academic context about your student. Are they the only one in the class who took AP U.S. History their sophomore year? How many honors courses are they taking relative to what’s offered at the school? Did their grades plummet due to a nasty bout of mono? In a NACAC article called “Recs That Change Lives: Using the Organized Narrative,” Chris writes, “Here I also try to quantify certain points to give the admission committee context. For example, ‘John has taken AP Biology, AP Physics and AP Chemistry’ should be ‘John is one of three students who has taken AP Biology, AP Physics and AP Chemistry.’ This small measurable statement changes the story for John.”

Activities, Interests, and Areas of Impact

Again, stick to bullet points. What does your student do out of class? Any clubs, jobs, church, volunteering? How do they invest in their school or community? How do they make the worlds of those around them a better place? This section should “add some context beyond a résumé line,” Chris writes.

Student Self-Reflection

The college counseling office at Chris’ school asks students to pick words or phrases that describe them well. This is where you include those descriptions, and offer a final affirming plug for your student.

* *Traditional Approach **
Counselor recommendation guide
How to begin:*

Use a title: “Letter of Recommendation for John Doe”

Or

Put the student’s name in the first sentence: “It is my great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for John Doe.”

Suggestions for the first paragraph:

Write an anecdote. A story is always a great way to draw the reader in.

Write a summary of the student’s strengths. Introduce what is to follow in the body of the letter.

Write what first comes to mind when you think of the student.

Suggestions for body paragraphs:

Here’s Michelle: “The body of your letter is going to be determined by what information will be most helpful to an admissions counselor in determining if the college and the student will be a good fit. If you had the opportunity to read the student’s essay and teacher letter of recommendations, you will be able to choose the content of your body paragraphs to complement, but not repeat, what has already been written. Your goal is to provide MORE information. If soccer is the most important thing in a student’s life and the student already has a letter of recommendation from the soccer coach, it is acceptable not to mention soccer. It is important that the student’s application, and not your letter, be comprehensive.”

Character and Personality

Describing the student’s character and personality is helpful. Giving examples and telling stories that illustrate the student’s character and personality is golden.

Extracurricular Activities

It is not necessary to repeat the student’s activity list. Write what is unique about the student’s participation in activities. Do any themes emerge? Is the student a leader? Has the student tried many new things in an effort to figure out their interests? Is their interest in activities based on genuine interest rather than resume-building?

Academics

In general, the teacher letter of recommendation will discuss the student’s academic progress and abilities. If a student is an avid reader, write about what they like to read. If a student is a news junkie, mention it. These details are important and may not be discussed in the rest of the student’s application. The counselor letter of recommendation should also explain anything unique on the student’s transcript such as an exchange program or perhaps a reason why a student took a specific course. If there is a dip in grades on the student’s transcript, the counselor should explain the reason.

Challenging Circumstances

Admissions counselors will be interested in knowing if a student’s grades were affected by challenging circumstances such as death, divorce, illness and poverty. It is usually appropriate to mention adversity without giving too much detail. Focus on how the student coped with adversity and how the circumstance might affect the student in college.

Social

How does the student interact with adults? Is the student a good friend? Does the student have a special relationship with a sibling? Is the student a leader? What kind of roommate will the student be?

Suggestions for the Conclusion:

Why will you miss the student?

What will the student offer their future campus community?

What is your prediction for the student’s success at college?

To continue...

Early decision plans are binding: A student who is accepted as an ED applicant must attend the college.

Early action plans are nonbinding: Students receive an early response to their application but do not have to commit to the college until the normal reply date of May 1.

I have recently know the difference between early decision and early action. Check this guide to get full information about these two application periods and welcome to share it with your students.
