This session is a fundraiser for the Western Association for College Admission Counseling (WACAC) which is dedicated to fostering professional development, ethical practice, social responsibility, and dynamic community among our members so that they can provide high-quality college counseling to the students they serve.
In this one-day workshop, we'll cover:
- How important are recommendation letters, and what is their role in the admission process?
- How do different colleges review and contextualize recommendation letters from different high schools? What are their expectations?
- What can I do (given my caseload and the needs of my school or CBO community) to uplevel my recommendations?
- Where do counselor recommendations fit in with the broader forms of school advocacy (including teacher letters and school profiles)? What information should go where?
