confusion about sealed envelopes - recommendation

<p>I have the letters of recommendation that my counselor gave me in an envelope ready to go. What exactly do they mean when I must have it sealed since I waived my right to see it?</p>

<p>anyone know?</p>

<p>That should be sealed in an envelope with the stamp on it or GC's signature.</p>

<p>^ What if they're not?</p>

<p>It's not a problem. Waiving your right to see the letter only means that you cannot demand to see it; it doesn't mean that your teacher or GC can't give it to you.</p>

<p>Just put them in envelopes, address them, seal them and send them.</p>

<p>One college specified that the letter writer had to sign across the seal, so D took the sealed envelope back to her and asked her to sign it.</p>

<p>Stay on the safe side and have the teacher or counselor sign,then place a bit of tape over the signature.</p>

<p>I just sent mine away. I had them sign the seal then put tape over it</p>

<p>My d's teachers didn't sign; one had moved away and gave her the letter to copy and mail out. All was well.</p>
