I'm currently working with my counselor and teachers to gather college recommendation letters. Does anyone know of any reliable sources or examples of what a strong recommendation letter looks like? I want to provide a reference for them so they know what colleges are looking for.
It's great that you're working with your counselor and teachers to gather college recommendation letters. You want to ensure they have a clear understanding of what colleges expect in a strong letter. I'd recommend taking a look and sharing this post from collegevine with your teachers:

Not only does it have examples of rec letters, it also talks about what to include and what common mistakes to avoid when writing a letter of recommendation. I hope you find it useful!
