common apps...???

<p>if im applying online using the common apps, how do i send in the counselor&teacher recommendation forms? do i just mail them to the collleges?
what if im applying to 3+ schools? do i make a few copies of the counseor statement forms and send them in separately? what about letters of recommendation? i don't think my counselor wants to fill out 3+ forms....</p>

<p>Your counselor and teachers can fill out the forms, make copies of them and then sign each copy. How you send the forms depends on how your school handles applications. Some school will want your teachers to send their completed and sealed recommendations to the counselors office where they can be sent together with the rest of your materials (since you are sending your application online, this will mean your teacher rec, counselor rec and any supplements). In this case, just g ive your teachers envelopes with your name, their name, and the college name written on it. You might also want to give them a resume to help them write their recommendation. My school would cover postage fees if you had the counselor's office mail out your paperwork.</p>

<p>Other high schools may just have your teachers mail recommendations out directly - in that case, give the teachers and counselor stamped and addressed envelopes for each college. They can write and copy the recs and then mail them out on their own</p>
