question about teacher recs!

[Amandarin]

<p>So i'm in the midst of finishing my college application to ND, and it's my super reach (not really important) </p>

<p>ANYWAYS, the common app has like two teacher recs which i was utterly unaware of =(( and notre dame said they require one so can i just do my teacher rec and counselor rec since thats what notre dame said?</p>

<p>i HOPE this is the case, i was meaning to email the admissions office sometime because IF i need two, im more then likely just gonna have to scratch ND off the list =( since we'll be snowed out this whole week and i only have one application rec done
=/</p>

<p>For ND, all you need is one teacher recommendation and a counselor recommendation. That is all that is required from ND. Some students send in more than one teacher rec but it is not necessary.</p>

<p>I submitted only one teacher rec and one counselor rec (which is all that ND really wants and prefers) and I was accepted EA.</p>

<p>

and notre dame said they require one so can i just do my teacher rec and counselor rec since thats what notre dame said?

</p>

<p>Yes, you are fine.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>thank you sooo much! now i CAN apply still =)))</p>

<p>do they have to fill out the form from the common app or just write a rec?</p>

<p>I would have them fill out the form.</p>

</p>

<p>I agree with Hankswim - I would have them fill out the form.</p>

<p>I submitted my teacher’s name and e-mail address on the Common Application form (and I told him to look for the e-mail from Comm App in return).</p>

<p>My counselor wanted to submit a paper form so although I also submitted his name and e-mail address, I gave him the copies to fill out and send.</p>

[Amandarin]

<p>im doing it by paper because i messed up something on my common app, but anyways</p>

<p>i dont think i can apply anymore =(</p>

<p>we got hit with a massive blizzard (im from maryland) and we got 2 feet of snow and schools out until jan 5th so theres no way to pick them up
=(</p>

<p>Amandarin -</p>

<p>I believe that you can still apply - just submit your application before the deadline and then get the teacher’s rec and the counselor’s rec sent in as soon as you can once you return to school.</p>

<p>Here are some quotes from a current thread in this forum that should help you…</p>

<p>

Should I bother applying? </p>

<hr>

<p>I recently realized I did not give my counselor an official transcript for Notre Dame, so the earliest she can mail her counselor packet is January 5th. </p>

<p>However, my teacher sent in her rec letter on time and I plan to submit the rest of my application (SAT scores, essays, application fee) on time as well. </p>

<p>I noticed that the site says Notre Dame, “will begin to notify those students who are missing a portion of their applications beginning in mid- February…If [they] receive the missing portions of your application in a timely manner, the evaluation of your application will not be negatively affected.”</p>

<p>Do you think I can slide past with that? </p>

<p>Thanks for your help.

</p>

<p>

Don’t worry. Submit your application. I was missing most of my application (recommendations and transcript) until late January, and I still got accepted

</p>

<p>I would still go for it – Good luck!</p>

<p>^Just apply with something - the University will create a file for you and you need to complete is ASAP but it won’t be a problem until end of January.</p>

[Amandarin]

<p>thank you very very very much! im getting all my materials on hte 5th when we go back to school and ill be sending them off that day =) thank you so much</p>

<p>Your other materials can be sent a little later (teacher recs, counselor recs, transcripts), but I’m pretty sure that your Common Ap must be submitted by December 31.</p>

[shyman]

<p>OF course all your stuff has to be sent ASAP. But they need you to submit the Common App by the deadline so they can start a file for you.</p>
