<p>The country where I went to high school doesn't use teacher recommendations and it's a problem for me since I'm applying to a US university. Does anyone know what I can do? Can I get a family member to upload the recommendations etc? A friend of mine did it and she got into Cornell.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to bother your teachers with Common App accounts, they can complete the evaluations on paper and you can mail them to colleges yourself. Or, if your school has a computer with internet access and your teachers have a free period, you can sit down with them and walk them through the process of opening a Common App account and translate the questions for them, if necessary.</p>
<p>I would strongly discourage you from using deception. Colleges do spot-check the integrity of applications and if you do get caught, you’ll be in a heck of a lot of trouble. Family members posing as teachers is a big no-no. (Unless, of course, your family members really are your teachers…)</p>
