<p>My DS has asked 2 teachers to write letters of recommendation. 4 of his schools are Common App schools. It says on the Common App website something about sending an email to the teacher with a link for them so they can fill out the recommendation online. However, my son's school is a Naviance School and he gets this message:</p>
<p>For transcripts, school reports and teacher recommendations, your school is using Naviance eDocs. Please contact your counselor directly and they will provide instructions specific to your school regarding these documents. Once your counselor and teachers submit their school forms you will be able to view their status here. </p>
<p>He asked in guidance and all they told him was to ask the teacher if they want to do it online or paper form. I assume the counselor is assuming the teacher will know what to do.</p>
<p>So, let's say the teacher wants to mail it in. No where on the Common App website does it give a mailing address. I emailed their support and it said he should have the teacher mail a completed recommendation to each college DS is applying to (4 in his case). So then DS would give the teacher 4 forms with the top student information section filled out and 4 envelopes addressed to each school's admissions office. Does this sound right?</p>
<p>But then, somewhere else on the Common App website it says they don't want some things done electronically and some done by mailing in.</p>
<p>This is very confusing! Can someone please clarify the process for us. We'd be very gratefull. The first deadline of Nov. 1st is quickly approaching.</p>
