<p>Where can I find the common recommendation for the big ten schools?</p>
<p>TABS:</a> How to Apply</p>
<p>So basically the teacher only has to fill out one recommendation and make some copies for other schools?</p>
<p>What's the point to fill out the school's application if we can use the general application on TABS?</p>
<p>Some schools ask questions that others do not. It also makes it seem as though you've chosen that specific school to apply to, as opposed to just trying every possible school.</p>
<p>Yes, we've chosen to fill out seperate applications that the schools sent specifically for THAT school. It shows you spent effort and time applying and you didn't just photocopy your papers and send them off to 20 other schools.</p>
<p>All of my teachers filled out the same reccomendation forms. Some schools asked for different ones, but I called and emailed them to get permission to use the common form. I was applying to eleven schools. It's one thing to ask a kid to do eleven applications, but there's no way I was going to ask my teachers to fill out eleven differenet reccomendations. It's far too time-consuming, and they're not the ones applying to boarding school.</p>
