I'm confused with recommendations...

<p>One of the colleges I am applying to says that recs arent required, but strongly encouraged. I dont see any forms that teachers need to fill out on the application.</p>

<p>Would that mean that I would just simply ask my teacher to write me a recommendation and they would know what to do or are they expecting some kind of request form from me?</p>

<p>which college is this? :confused:</p>

<p>university of maryland - baltimore county</p>

<p>well they say that it only needs to include your SSN and name. So I would assume you do whatever your school's policy is (like here you fill out a form with your resume and what colleges you're applying to and it's a request form)</p>

<p>strongly encouraged = required</p>

<p>the OP is sending in a rec, that isn't their question lol :D</p>
