<p>Hi, first of all, I'm sorry for all the threads asking for help on the application. My counselor is on maternity leave so she can't help me. I'm trying to figure everything out so I can email her, and hopefully she can write me a recommendation. I have some quick questions.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>When a counselor submits a recommendation online, do they have to mail the senior schedule and transcript? Or is there a way to submit those online too?</p></li>
<li><p>Since my counselor is writing her recommendation from home...would it be okay if she handled all the recommendation stuff, but the counselor at my school handled the HS profile, transcript, and schedule? </p></li>
<li><p>Or is it just easier to do the paper recommendation so that my counselor can write the letter, and then I could give it to the counselor at my school who could put everything together and mail it?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Extra credit for U of M experts: When filling out a paper app, should I use blue (go blue?) or black ink? O_o</p>

<p>Thanks soo much. I'm really stressed out because I'm extremely busy with all of my school stuff, and I still have to finish my last essay and get this recommendation stuff figured out...</p>

<p>Use black ink.</p>

<p>Not 100% sure but I believe the transcript goes hardcopy anyway, usually sent with the school profile sheet from the guidance office/registrar at the school. No reason not to have counselor submit online - they’re decent and keeping track of the combo of hardcopy and online. Just make sure you stay on top of their having ALL your docs before Nov. 1 and you’re good (it will say in your wolverine access online whether missing anything I believe.
Cheers,

<p>^ Ok, thank you so much. So they’ll have no problem with online rec and hard copy transcript, schedule, profile?</p>

<p>Also, it’ll be okay to have an online counselor rec, but hard copy teacher rec, right?</p>
