<p>When you ask a teacher to write a recommendation, do they submit it through a website that you give them or what is the procedure? Is it through parchment? Sorry, Im new to this and going to start asking soon! Thanks!</p>
<p>Online upload is the preferred method. Usually, you’ll be using the Common Application.</p>
<p>So like once you sit down with your teacher and ask them to do one, do they like know my username or whatever and submit it? And what if 5 colleges of mine require them. Do they submit it to each college if its outside of the common app?</p>
<p>Depends on your school and on the individual teacher. Some will submit electronically and others still prefer to send a paper letter. If it’s the latter, you should provide a self-addressed stamped envelope for each school.</p>
