<p>One of my acquaintainces mentioned that all the colleges accept online recommendations. But, as far as I can recall, i read somewhere that MIT teacher evaluations have to be 'mailed' to the office.
1)Can anyone please clarify the exact process of submitting MIT teacher evaluations?
2)Also can I get one evaluation from my maths teacher and the other from Science teacher..and is there any hard & fast rule that one rec. 'has' to be from an humanities teacher?
thanks</p>

You do have to have an evaluation from a humanities teacher. The requirement is to have one math/science recommendation and one humanities recommendation. If you would like to send the recommendations from both your math teacher and your science teacher, you can send one as a supplemental recommendation, but you do need one humanities recommendation.</p>

For MIT, teacher recommendations are filled out on paper and either mailed or faxed to MIT. There’s currently no process (as far as I know) for submitting them online.</p>

<p>Am I the only one that finds it strange that MIT of all schools is the only top university requiring paper forms for admissions?</p>

<p>well most schools are on the common app, so the fact that we have a different process accounts for that</p>

<p>FWIW we’re working on trying to figure out a good way to get everything online. there are some procedural issues with teacher recs. </p>

<p>but by far the best way to get stuff to us is to fax it, because our fax magically transforms it into a PDF and then gets it into your system and attached to your app much faster than opening and scanning all the mail. so do that :)</p>

<p>Chris – I take it you guys read our files on computers versus paper copy printouts? I love that it’s green, but man all that intense screen time
must be tough on your eyes in Jan, Feb and March!!</p>

<p>What about the transfer students ?
I’m a transfer student & at my current college I havnt taken any humanities courses as yet.
And since am international student I cant get recs from my high school’s humanities profs, since they’re in back in my country :(</p>
