<p>I asked someone to write me a recommendation for a scholarship and I thought I was being polite by allowing her to mail it in herself.. Little did I know, I messed up. Badly. What nowwwwwwwwwwww?</p>
<p>i think it’s ok for her/ you as long as the rec letter is finally put in your file at the admission office. and, be on time.</p>
<p>I called the admissions office at Wash U, and they said that the recomendations can be sent by the person who writes them (even though it says otherwise in the instructions). Don’t fret. I told my the people who wrote my recs to send them in on their own, and as long as they arrive on time im sure there wont be a problem.</p>
