<p>Do we ask the professor or the t.a for a letter of rec.? the t.a. knows me well and is quite fond of me. Thank you.</p>

2

<p>Depends on the school but most places want professors to write recommendations. I would check the websites of the schools you’re applying to or call their admissions offices to double check.</p>

3

<p>Agree that you should check the websites of the colleges first. Most permit both profs and TAs. Within the rules of the school, pick whoever will write you the best LOR.</p>

4

<p>what if the college is ambiguous, for instance the columbia, brown etc?</p>

<p>What is ambiguous about these?:</p>

<p>So, I just provide the instructor copies of evaluation forms for the number of colleges. Do they rewrite everything aside from the letter for each college? thanks.</p>

<p>No, instead do this:</p>

<ol>
<li>You print out the IE form.</li>
<li>You fill in the top of the form and sign.</li>
<li>Send that hard copy OR scan and email OR FAX a copy to the instructor.</li>
<li>The instructor fills out the rest of the form once (by hand, typing, on their computer if possible, it doesn’t matter how); except that they leave the signature line blank.</li>
<li>The instructor makes as many copies as necessary and signs each copy.</li>
<li>The instructor puts each copy into an envelope, seals and signs over the seal.</li>
</ol>
