<p>Can I send different recommendation letters to different colleges? Or will all colleges get the same letters?
For example, can I send letters from teacher A and B to a college C and send letters from teacher D and E to another college F?
Some colleges highly recommend students to get recommendation letters from either junior or senior year teachers, and some engineering schools (which is where I want to go) want letters from science and math teachers.
However, I have really good relationship with my tenth grade English teacher, and I think most English teachers write better than math teachers. So I want to send my English teacher's letter (and one more letter from another teacher) to schools that don't care much about which teacher writes the letter while sending letters from my juior year math and science teachers to schools that want those teachers' letters. Is this possible?</p>
<p>You can change which college gets which letter.</p>
<p>Generally your GC office can control who gets what letter. You still want your letters to be generic enough to go to multiple schools, but you can request 3 letters (science, math, English) and then tell your GC office which ones you want to give to which schools.</p>
<p>@AnnieBeats @intparent Wow that was quick. Thank you!!!</p>
<p>We aim to please. :)</p>
<p>On common app, you have that control. You can designate as many recommenders as you please and then attach them to schools as you wish. Many schools will have a cap on how many recommendations you can send, so it is best to pick and choose.</p>
<p>I guess at some schools the students control this. But at our kid’s school, the GC has to do it. Maybe because students would get access to the rec itself by doing the attaching? I am not sure… just know that is how our high school does it. </p>
<p>No on common app, the student lists the recommender. Students have no access to the recommendations once submitted- only the teachers do. Most are submitted online by the teacher (not the student) or can be submitted by mail directly by the teacher. But yes, I guess the process may be different at different high schools. I can just tell you what you input in the common app, not how the recommendations get there.</p>
