Hey Guys What are your thoughts?

<p>I am kinda confused, some schools say they require "teacher recommendations" whereas some say they require "teacher evaluations"</p>

<p>is there a difference between them?</p>

<p>im guessing the "teacher evaluations" is the common app form and the "teacher recommendations" dont require that form, just the recommendation?</p>

<p>your thoughts would be helpful</p>

<p>Both the exact same thing.</p>

<p>sorry, but do you need or NOT need the forms with the teacher recommendations
sorry for being foolish, but im just not getting it</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure every school wants your teacher to fill out a form in addition to writing a recommendation; some schools just use the common app form (if they're part of the common app) and others have their own form.</p>

<p>I guess the wording they use (some use "evalution", some use "recommendation") might make it confusing, but generally they mean the exact same thing; they want your teacher to fill out the form as well as write a letter of recommendation.</p>

<p>Letters of Recommendation</p>

<p>Tufts requires one letter from a teacher in a junior or senior year major academic course (math, natural science, social science, English, or a foreign language) and one letter from a guidance counselor. Additional letters, though not encouraged, may be submitted if the student feels they can add new perspective to his/her application.</p>

<p>Therefore, no form required?</p>

<p>Since Tufts makes available the Common App Teacher evaluation form to those who want to do a paper application,</p>

<p>I think they expect teachers to use that. If you want details about an individual institution's policy, it's best to ask the school directly, though.</p>
