Letters of Recommendation

<p>As someone who has been homeschooled my letters of recommendation will have to be from people that have been involved with my extracurriculars. How should I handle this with the Common App? Should I check that this ok with each of the colleges first?</p>

<p>I would really rather not have to put one of my recommenders through the whole digital recommendation process, is it true that if I leave the email blank it just assumes I will be giving the the recommender the paper forms?</p>
