<p>i want to know what address im supposed to send my teachec reccomendations. My intenede major is computer science. Thx in advnace</p>
<p>Send them to the admissions office. The address should be on their website.</p>
<p>When you visit the website you will see that they ask for the recommendations to "not be sent under separate cover". Meaning they should be sent along with the transcript package from your guidance counselor. That being said I would guess this isn't adhered to all the time. Given that UMass receives thousands of applications I am sure that it makes their job easier by eliminating one step in the filing process. </p>
<p>I'm hoping the recommendations eventually make their way to being matched up with the rest of the info in the file. S1's GC sent out the packet before the teacher got the rec in there. Had to be sent separately in the end even though everyone involved knew about these instructions. Sometimes you just do the best you can.......</p>

<p>Requesting that recs not be sent under separate cover is ludicrous. I would say that a significant percentage of teachers prefer to send the rec directly to the college.</p>
<p>I am not allowed to send rec letters directly to schools, neither are the teachers a my D school. Everything goes through guidance. They package everything out and ship it out.</p>
<p>To clarify:
What UMass is asking for is that the recommendations BE INCLUDED with the packet that is sent out directly from the guidance counselor rather than teachers sending them out on their own. This way UMass receives one packet of information rather than 3 separate items that would need to be matched up and put in an applicants file. </p>
<p>I was not indicating that otherwise students would be sending them directly. Yes, that would be ludicrous. Typically teachers send them directly and a student has waived their right to see the recommendation. UMass is asking that you go one step further with this and have the teacher deliver it directly to the guidance office (not via the student!) to them be delivered as one packet to UMass from guidance. </p>
<p>As I stated earlier I don't think this is followed all of the time since it is easy enough to miss on the website or in the application materials. And even though I tried to explain it in my earlier post, easy enough to misunderstand.</p>
