<p>I see that some schools I am applying say that letters of recommendation must have my date of birth on them. I am afraid that my recommenders did not do this. Does anyone know if on the common app it instructs the recommenders to put these things? And if it doesn't will application be void if it does not include this?</p>
<p>It is not going to VOID your apps. That’s crazy. What purpose would that serve? Colleges spendhuge resources to get you to apply and now they frivolously delete your app? The bday thing is just an additional id feature, just in case</p>
