<p>our teachers arent letting us do that,
our teachers have to send them directly.</p>
<p>I donāt know. Iāll email the admissions office about it, but itās easier for me to collect them then to have the teachers send them. More organized, and it lets me know that Iāve got that coveredā¦</p>
<p>honestly, iād rather send it in myself- one less thing to worry about. The applications i am sending in all said the teacher should send it (except for deerfield). </p>
<p>I guess iāll do what they asked me too, although wouldnāt it be MUCH easier for the schools to have everything they need in one envelope?</p>
<p>Thatās what Iām thinking!
And, I wouldnāt know when or if teachers sent them, making it near impossible to know if your application was complete!
Wouldnāt it suck to get to February 3rd, the day after applications are due, and realise your teacher never sent the recs???</p>
<p>It would also suck for them to be skeptical about you getting your recs back when they receive everything in one big envelope</p>
<p>Regardless of what you think may be better or easier for the school, you need to follow THEIR directions (with the understanding that there may be different rules for students applying from abroad). It is also your (and your familyās) responsibility to follow up to make sure that all parts of your application have been received. Some schools have an online system for you to check this. Others send postcards about missing items. It is also acceptable to call the admissions office and ask āIs my application complete, or is something missing?ā and then to politely remind a teacher of something that needs to be sent. Obviously, donāt call once a dayā¦</p>
<p>ahhhh 2 days until my Deerfield interviewwww</p>
<p>2 days until hotchkiss!</p>
<p>Shoot. Well, Iāll give my recs back to my teachers that Iāve gotten so far and have them mail em. Well, actually, it didnāt say anything about recs needing to be maild by the teacher (on most of my apps) but deffinitely the school reportā¦ Poop.</p>
<p>wow, decemberās flying so fast</p>
<p>Grr I know. ALL MY WORK IS TO BE DONE during the vacationā¦ Uggggh.</p>
<p>You are supposed to give the teachers stamped envelopes so they can mail them themselves. You should stick stamps on the envelopes before you return them to the teachers and ask them to mail them. You also donāt need to worry about the schools receiving multiple envelopes, they have systems set up for this, as long as everything has your name on it, it will get to your file.</p>
<p>Mkay. Seems like itāll work out.</p>
<p>Are you done with all your stuff yet?</p>
<p>O.M.G. i canāt wait!i was so, so nervous.hahaha. xD</p>
<p>i hope nobodyās done yet -_-;;
i seriously have yet to finish the other 70% of my application. EVEN the basic parts. UGH!</p>
<p>Finished with Andover Exeter and St paulsā¦gotta do interviews which is in a few days, then take one more shot at a 99 on the ssat in january. Still havent done any of deerfield, hopefully its something Iāve already done and I can just plug in their name. If not then it should take me a few hours.</p>
<p>Iām still thinking of what to write for all of the essaysā¦</p>
<p>73 days till March 10</p>
<p>can you believe we passed the 75 mark, never mind the 100 day mark!??</p>
<p>i think itās amazing how fast time flew this semesterā¦ before May, getting through a month felt like forever!</p>
