<p>My D is doing her transfer apps and has some questions. She is back in school after a 3 yr break so last did a common app 5 years ago. She is confused about the teacher recs. She is finding it difficult on some of the sites to find out what each school needs. Also how do the teachers do the rec online? Back in her HS days the teacher and counselor just made copies and you mailed them off.
Also is the counselor rec just for HS students?
Thanks</p>
<p>If the college websites are unclear, give them a call or email.</p>
<p>LORs can now be done either on line or by mail for freshman admissions, not sure if transfers can do them on line. But as a rule, it seems like college profs are used to doing them hard copy and either sending them out with envelopes you provide or give them to the student in a sealed envelope (signed over the flap) for them to send to schools. Some colleges want the HS secondary report and transcript; it depends on the school and sometimes on the number of years out of HS the student is. Again, if the website is unclear, contact the school for clarification.</p>
