recommendations

<p>I was wondering when writing letters of recommendation do my professors have to use the stupid evaluation forms from the applications or should they just write their own letter or both? I havent looked at all applications but MIT and UPenn have these stupid forms... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.</p>

<p>pretty please?</p>

<p>I don't really know about UPenn and MIT, but I will say that when I asked that question to NYU, they said that it really doesn't matter but that the form had information on it that they would really like to know and be able to evaluate. I think colleges want the form and then a separate in-depth letter.</p>
