Personal recommendation question

Howdy all! My personal recommender asked me where she should submit her rec. Turns out, she wrote an actual letter instead of using the Gateway form. Would she be okay emailing this to AOs? Or will she have to completely bin the letter and just do the Gateway form?

I think you must submit the gateway form as most schools stated, yet you can submit the form after 15 Jan, just check the requirements on the school websites.

She should be able to copy and paste onto the Gateway form, so it shouldn’t be that difficult of a transition.

I am fairly certain that most AOs will accept an email recommendation from someone. Call and let them know it’s coming.

I posted on another thread that an AO recently told me to email any videos directly to said AO as well as attaching them in gateway, so clearly AOs are open to having app materials sent straight to them.

We are using the SAO app, but I called the schools and they said to have the additional recommendation emailed to them.
