<p>I've got most of my admissions in order, except I'm fuzzy on some of the basics.</p>
<p>a) Who exactly is my high school counselor? I'm an international student if that matters, and will the equivalent of homeroom teachers do to fill out forms such as the Secondary School Report?</p>
<p>b) I assume right from the bat that I waive any right to view the recommendations and the portion of the forms that the teachers themselves fill out, but how I am meant to send off my applications in that case, will it be postmarked by my high school and sent off themselves? This is most pertinent for the teacher's reports.</p>
<p>I suppose that's it, and thanks so much for any help that's forthcoming.</p>
<p>our school has a counselor -- they lady that deals with all personal matters such as problems with your grades and any other issues concerning you and school. You must have someone who you go to to sort things out ( for academics)</p>
<p>B. I got everything the letters of rec , SCR, transcripts. had the school and teachers put them in closed signed school envelopes. Then I put everything together then put it in a fedex envelope and sent it off to the University.</p>
<p>b) You don't automatically waive the right -- you don't waive the right until you sign a certain form, and even then it really doesn't matter for colleges, it only matters for the teachers who can see whether or not you waived the right to see your recommendations. However, if you waive the right to send them, you have several options, assuming that your teachers are submitting the recommendations through snail mail, not electronically. You can give your teachers stamped envelopes with the proper address on them. You can ask your school (most likely your guidance counselor, whomever that may be) to send them in along with your transcript and secondary school report (which is what my school did with the non-electronic recommendations). You can ask your teachers to place their recommendations in a sealed envelope with their signature over the seal, and then mail that to the school.</p>
<p>Or you could call/email whatever college(s) you're applying to and ask them what they would advise you to do.</p>
