<p>should i had my teacher one copy of the common app teacher section or should i give them one and tell them to just make photocopies to save themselves time?</p>
<p>every college that accepts common app, agrees to the common app rules which says a photocopy is acceptable.</p>
<p>but should i give the teacher 8 copies or assume theyll photocopy it.</p>
<p>i want to make sure im not being rude.</p>
<p>you can give them 8 copies and explain to them that they only need to write one and photocopy the rest. However they will need to SIGN on 8 copies (as opposed to a photocopied signature).</p>
<p>banedon7: do they HAVE to sign each copy individually? cause i don't think i told my teachers to do that</p>
<p>I forgot to tell my teachers that also. I guess one of them signed each copy, but the other one signed one and made photocopies of it, so the signature is just photocopied. However, he attached a letter to each form, and all of the letters were signed. Any idea if it will matter to adcoms.? thanks</p>
<p>well, it certainly will look suspicious to the adcom if they see a photocopied signature instead of an original one. of course they could call your teaher to verify, but IMO it's much safer to ask your teacher to dign 8 copies. doesnt take much time, does it?</p>
<p>hmm my counselor told me to just let the teacher sign across where the envelope is, which is what they are doing. I'll see if they are done the recs tho, and tell them if need be</p>
<p>signing across the flap would be one way too. then you're all set then. :)</p>
<p>banedon... two questions for you, or anyone for that matter. 1) does it look suspicious even though my teacher signed the attached letter? 2) if adcoms had any reason to question it they would call the teacher to verify, not just throw the app. into the reject pile, right? I hope so... if that's the case (that they would call the teacher), I feel a little reassured. Otherwise, am i completely screwed?</p>
<p>1) it won't.
2) that's a question i'm concerned about too. i know for a fact that blatant lies don't need verification, but if it's "questionable" they will call. but hten again, no one knows where the line between "questionalbe" and "blatant lie" is.</p>
