<p>Hi College Confidential! I have a quick question today. I am right now in the process of applying to colleges for transfer. I am right now using the common app and some of the colleges I am applying to either require or strongly recommend that I include an instructor recommendation from a college professor with my application. As probably a lot of you know you can not send online invitations to college professors for recommendations and they need to be sent offline, in the physical mail. My question is, if I have a few schools (2 or 3) that require or strongly recommend that you include a college professor recommendation how would I go about telling my college professor recommender to do these recommendations? Should I give her the printed common app instructor recommendation paperwork and tell her to fill it out and then make copies of that? I am trying to make it the life of my professor who is giving the recommendation to me as easy as possible. Any help is appreciated, and I hope this makes sense! Thanks :)</p>
<p>Walk up to the professor after class, and ask if they will recommend you. If they say yes, bring them the printed Common App form with stamped+addressed envelopes whenever he or she wants it.</p>
<p>Thanks econ for your help but, I think I might have misspoken. I have already found a professor who will write me a recommendation for me. The only problem I have right now is that I have two schools that require or strongly recommend I include a professors recommendation with my application and, I am right now trying to find out the best way to make the professor I asked who is writing my recommendation life as easy as possible. Do I print out two professor recommendation forms and make her fill out both of them twice or do I just print out one and have her fill that out and copy it? I don’t know if that is against the rules or not.</p>
<p>print out one and photo copy it</p>
<p>You need to fill out and sign the top part of the form. Do that on 2 hardcopyies and give them to the prof. They can then fill out the rest of the form. For the Evaluation part, they can print out copies on a separate sheet rather than writing on the form.</p>
<p>You should provide them with envelopes as they should put the paperwork into the envelope, seal it, and sign across the seal, this makes it official. They can then return the envelopes for you to send to the schools or you can address the envelopes to the schools (using your return address).</p>
