| Filling out college applications?
The following process MUST be followed if you want a letter of
recommendation and/or transcripts from Mrs. Guss:
• If you need a recommendation letter from Mrs. Guss or your teachers
(teachers who know you well are best), fill out a personal information form
to give to them before asking for a recommendation. Give the completed
information form to the person you need the letter from AT LEAST TWO WEEKS
IN ADVANCE. These forms are in the senior guidance office on the right side
of the room in the mailboxes.
• If you need a transcript, pick up a transcript request form from the
senior guidance office (also on the right side of the room in the
mailboxes). There is a 2-3 day turn-around for transcripts. If you mark
the box to pick up the transcript, don't forget to come by and get it!
• We will return your forms and my recommedation letter within 2 weeks.
• If your application needs teacher recommendation letters, remember to
attach those with your application when you mail everything to the college.
Also, you must arrange your own teacher recommendations!
• We must have a TWO-WEEK turnaround time, so do not procrastinate in
this process.

The "Common Application" is a general application form used by over 150
independent colleges that is available on-line. Some colleges/universities
accept the Common Application. Check with the admissions office(s) at the
college(s) you want to apply to and see if they accept it, or if they prefer
you fill out their particular application. For more information regarding
