<p>For additional recommendation (from counselor)- since it's coming under separate cover, should I make a sticky note addition to my form telling them to watch out for it? What personal identifying information should my counselor put on it so it gets put with my folder? Counselor doesn't know because all she tells us to apply to are state schools like UCs, which don't take letters of rec.
Anyone else having problems with the UC online app? I can't change my classes, and my school has two AP English Language courses listed and I put the one that was registered as NH instead of AP.
Since I'm submitting by paper, should I hand-write or use a typewriter?
For ECs, if one is year-round but I just started it, should I put 52 wk/yr, the number of weeks I have participated in it up to the point at which I started filling out apps, or the number of weeks I will have participated in it by the time they start reading apps?
What's the general format for essays? Single-spaced? Double-spaced? I know I need name and SSN, but anything else? I will tailor my essays for Common App and UCs to reflect school name. But do HYPS like conservative essays (traditional topic, traditional format) or creative essays (new ideas, a bit of satire)?</p>
<p>Thanks for all of the help. Good luck to all of you still in admissions process.</p>
