Letter of recommendations and counselor

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

This is PROFSabi,
Okay, the thing is that after my school came to know about my plans to apply abroad, they are amazed. Amazed, because history says, that I am the first to apply abroad from my school! that then amazed me. My friends have a vision that I am a fool who does these.

As a result, my teachers are not familiar with the process, and counselor is something that we don’t have at government schools(at least my school).

2 recommenders are my Science teacher and my English teacher. They heard of LOR and they were* like “Is LOR a city? or a fish?”.

I made them understand the whole process and after they got it, a major problem came up, that they are not familiar with internet and electronic mails(they still use non-screen touch devices) so I asked admissions officers of my choice universities if they would accept if the a school head sends all the LORs, high school grade sheets in a sealed envelope. They said ‘Yes’ they would.

But, in the common app, they won’t. As the recommender and invitations is mandated, I am unable to submit the common app.

Help,
Best Regards,
PROF :slight_smile:

You have to invite the recommenders through the Common App, but the recs do not need to be submitted electronically. If it’s a situation where the recommender does not have an email address, there are plenty of free email providers including gmail.

@skieurope Hi, does that include even school reports, final reports etc? I mean I invited them with their email, but the envelope contains all the transcripts, recs and all.

P.S. My school submitted the IX, X and XI th grade transcripts and they said that by end of January they would report the predicted scores and XII’th grades. Would that be a problem? Admissions officers said me that I can send the XIIth grade results a bit later but, if they do not like the results (and by chance they admitted me) they may cancel the admission…

Regards,
PROF

Yes

No

Correct. For most colleges, your acceptance is contingent upon successful completion of your secondary school requirements. For many, completion of a course with a D or an F could result in the acceptance offer being rescinded.

No no, it won’t be D / F :stuck_out_tongue: hope so!
