Question: When Should I Ask for a Letter of Recommendation?
Answer: As soon as you know that you will need it. You want to give your letter writer as much time to complete the project as possible. This will increase your chances of getting a well written letter of recommendation. Whatever you do, don't wait until the last minute.
