Re: Teacher Rec\'s
Let me add another important note.
If you are asking for a letter from someone, and they agree, make sure you give them all the relevant info they need to write the letter. Give them your transcripts, work history, research experience, etc. Also provide a self-addressed stamped envelope (sase) so they don't have to do that themselves after they write the letter. I usually tell students to write their own letter and i'll sign it if i agree with it (i'm too busy to write them all myself).
After you give them the info and sase, send them a reminder email a few weeks before the letter is due. Then send a thank you note after they have sent it in. They're doing you a big favor, so make sure they know you appreciate it. You don't have to suck up or anything... just be courtesy.
