<p>A dean at my college recently wrote letters to the schools I'm applying to. Two of the schools are through the common app, and MIT is not, but I'm pretty sure the dean used the common app form for all three... Is there any way I can figure out if that is ok or if it will be used at all?</p>
<p>If the dean wrote a letter of recommendation with a common app form, then it’s fine. MIT expressly states that they allow this, as long as the recommendation answers most of their questions of concern regarding you.</p>
