<p>For those who have been through the admissions process or know it very thoroughly, how do letters of recommendation work? If I have two teachers that know me well and will write very nice rec letters for me, do I need them each to write a letter for each college that I will be applying to? Do they need to be edited manually for each college? How will the teachers submit them? How are they incorporated into the Common App?</p>

<p>Bumo !! same question…</p>
<p>Each teacher will upload his or her recommendation into the common app form or write it directly into the common app form just once. You can assign each recommendation to any or all of your schools as you see fit. The recommendation is, therefore, not normally tailored to a particular school.</p>
<p>You can also add additional schools and assign a teacher’s recommendation to those schools after the teacher’s recommendation has already been entered into the common app.</p>
<p>Some teachers do still prefer to send their recommendations by regular postal mail. Most colleges upon receipt of hard copy recommendations now scan them and add them to your electronic file for review. If a teacher submits a hard copy by post, you will not get confirmation of that through the common app system.</p>
