- If you do not waive your right to view the recommendations, does that mean you can access them right through the common app?
- Will your recommenders know if you do this?
- No. [This page](https://appsupport.commonapp.org/link/portal/33011/33013/Article/92/What-is-the-FERPA-Waiver) says, "FERPA gives you the right to review confidential letters of recommendation under certain circumstances [if you] are enrolled in college and that college saves the recommendations for enrolled students, [or you] are 18 or older." My understanding is that you would be able to view your recommendations after you enroll at a particular college, assuming the college saved them.
- The page says, "Some recommenders may refuse to write a letter for you unless you waive your rights," which indicates that they can see your decision.
