<p>I'm including an Arts Supplement in my application. It asks for a separate "arts instructor" recommendation. This is what I see on the page:</p>
<p>"Please upload a letter of recommendation from an arts instructor who is familiar with your work.</p>
<p>To upload a document in response to this question, please click the 'Upload Document' button."</p>
<p>Does this mean I need a copy of the recommendation to "upload"? or do I simply add my music teacher as a recommender so he can send it through the common app? what about mailing?
PLEASE HELP.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m also wondering about this too.</p>
<p>It seems if you’re applying to a school with its own arts supplement, you mail it separately to the school… but if they only accept the common app supplement… I have no idea, sorry :/</p>
<p>You either need to have the letter and upload it, or send in a hard copy. My D ended up sending in her arts supplement by mail. She enclosed the common app arts supplement form, her music resume, a CD and a letter of recommendation from her music teacher (which was in a sealed envelope) all in a larger envelope that she sent in.</p>
<p>Hey, Momof5kids–did she have to use printed versions of the common app’s art supplement forms?</p>
<p>Hi. I had the exact same problem. My college counselor told me to upload a document to that area that says “Letter will be sent in as a hard copy by college counselor–please see it there” or something to that effect, so that’s what I’m doing.</p>
