<p>This might be one of the stupidest questions anyone ever asked on these boards, so I apologize ahead of time.</p>
<p>If I apply through the Common App and have a lot of colleges on my list (15+), does it mean that the teacher that I will ask for a recommendation letter would have to write a separate letter for each college or is it enough to write just one and then the Common App will send it to all the colleges on my list?</p>
<p>Bump</p>
<p>To my knowledge, since it is the COMMON APP, I’m sure the point is to allow you to have the same application
–> teacher recommendations distributed to each of the different schools. If I got that wrong, whoops! </p>
<p>Ask the Common Application about it in the “Ask a Question” tab or shoot them an email to confirm.</p>
<p>I believe the teacher sends only one recommendation to Common App, and it gets distributed to all schools. </p>
<p>But I have another question: Is it okay for a family member to send a recommendation letter under the category “Other Recommender”? Accepted types does include Family member…</p>
<p>@WIParent, as far as I know almost all colleges don’t allow family members to write recommendation letters. You should probably email that specific school and ask, just to be sure.</p>
<p>@WIParent I also do not believe parents are allowed. The “other recommender” is usually someone like a director of a school show, an employer, an advisor, a music teacher, etc.</p>
