    Apr 12 2026

    In today's episode, I discuss how to ensure that your child secures outstanding letters of recommendation.

    Unfortunately, a lot of students take this part of the process lightly.

    They think the teacher is the one who has to do all the work.

    They just sit back and make sure the LORs are submitted in a timely fashion.

    I don't think so.

    There's is a lot of prep work required to make sure your teachers are set up for success.

    Take a listen to this episode to make sure your child is staying on track with their LORs.
