commonapp teacher evaluations/ letters of recommendation

<p>is there a difference between the commonapp teacher evaluation and a "letter of recommendation?" for ex. does Stanford require both a commonapp teacher evaluation and a letter of recommendation? i'm a bit confused as to the difference between these two</p>

<p>any clarification/help would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>The Common App has its own teacher evaluation form that includes a few questions for your teachers and also offers a place for them to attach “comments” (aka the rec).</p>

<p>wait so on the common app school forms some schools say the require atleast 1 teacher submit evaluations. does this mean if i send in a letter of rec from my teacher i do not need to send in the common app teacher evaluation? so basically the common app teacher evaluation is the same as a teacher writing there own letters of rec</p>
