<p>Should these recommendations be mailed to the colleges or is there a specific adress that they have to be sent?</p>
<p>bump!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>It's usually the admissions office, but check the college info on the common app site or the school's website. Or just give'em to your counselor! That's what I did.</p>
<p>Well the thing is... A teacher of mine is still in the process of writing the recommendation and he said he'll mail it to wherever it needs to go. Now that it's winter break, our school's closed and I'm supposed to e-mail him with the address. Quite a dilemma, common app makes me feel disorganized >.<</p>
<p>All you gotta do is give the commonapp recs to your teachers who will then give them to your counselors as you shouldn't even really have them in the first place. The recs should then go out with the transcripts and other stuff that your counselors send.</p>
<p>I understand that's the usual protocol. But my situation is a little different because my school's closed for the rest of this month. The teacher still has to write the recommendation and he said he'd mail it directly to whereever it has to go. The problem is that I have to e-mail him the address that he has to mail the recommendations to.</p>
<p>Different high schools do things differently. Some have the teacher recs go to the GC to be mailed with the transcript and school report. Others, like my son's, don't do that. The teachers send the recs in directly to the admissions office of each college. What we did was give the teachers pre-addressed stamped envelopes, 1 for each college. It seems to be working, as at least 3 colleges report all his recommendations received. Just address them to the admissions office of each college.</p>
