Teachers and counselors play a vital role in providing valuable insights into students' academic performance and personal character through recommendations. These recommendations are integral to the application review process, offering a holistic view of the student's abilities and qualities.

Required Recommendations:

Recommendations are a mandatory component of the Olympiad Match Program application. The online recommendation form includes questions about the student's academic performance and personal qualities, along with space for a letter of recommendation.

For the College Prep Scholars Program for high school juniors, applicants need to obtain:

• Two recommendations from high school teachers in core academic subjects, preferably from junior or sophomore year.
• School Report from the current high school counselor.

Writing Recommendations:

Strong letters of recommendation can significantly distinguish a student from a large pool of applicants. It is essential for educators and counselors to provide detailed and insightful recommendations, highlighting the student's unique strengths and contributions.
