<p>Hello,
I am getting a 3rd recommendation from someone I worked with at an internship. On the commonapp, there are only forms for teachers and counselors. Do I just get the person to send the letter in without a form? Also, I need to get a stamped envelope to this person. If I can only contact them through email, how do I get the envelope to them? Can I mail them an addressed, stamped envelope?</p>
<p>Just wondering, you are getting a rec from your guidance counselor, 2 teachers, and now someone else from an internship?</p>
<p>No guidance counselor. 2 teachers, and someone from my internship. I personally don’t see the point in getting a guidance counselor recommendation. They don’t know you as well as teacher’s do because you only see them a few times a year. Besides, the guidance counselor’s at my school are completely useless, if not a hindrance to everyone. They screw up everyone’s schedules, then wait until August to tell you, then act condescending and dickish through email(at least to one of my friends who got a completely messed up schedule because of guidance). I’ve never had a guidance counselor tell me something useful. They always forget who I am too, even if I go to them a lot. They are completely useless( at least at my school, maybe they are different at other schools), and luckily Cornell does not require a counselor recommendation. Unfortunately, University of Maryland does…:/</p>
<p>Haha I see…I guess at my school it’s just customary to get one from your guidance counselor. You’ve cleared up a lot for me haha. And in regards to your question, they don’t need a form, just their letter in an envelope with the address and when the college receives it, they keep it under a file with your name. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>Lol thank you!!!</p>
<p>Good luck to you as well!!!:)</p>
<p>I think your GC has to fill out a recommendation on the Common App for every student, whether you want it or not.</p>
<p>On the Commonapp, there are printable forms for teachers and guidance counselors. It doesn’t say which ones you need. So I thought I would just print 2 teacher ones, get them mailed, then get a letter mailed from someone else.</p>
