Recommenders cannot upload common app recommendations because of file size. What to do????

Applying to College

I’m freaking out as BOTH my teachers contacted me saying that their files are either 1000+ or 500+ so they can’t. I could have barely taught them to use the common app, and then there is that drop!! I don’t want to annoy them with my application as its uncommon to do it. I feel totally helpless :frowning:

I think the letter heads frames are taking too much space, I printed my 1 page resume on them uploaded it and it has taken much space. Could they just send them through e-mail to UNH (the only common app member I’m applying to.) ???

Of course you can. Please relax – they WANT to review your materials. When you email or fax the rec letters in, attach a cover letter explaining the inability of your teachers to upload their docs.

Please realize that they WANT to find a reason to accept you – you know that, right?
