Recs through Common Application?

<p>But when I invite a teacher then he has to fill out only on form, right? So that he just fills out one form and then submits it to all of my schools. (Kind of like we do with the application)</p>

<p>Ya! (Guess so, tho I can't be sure coz I am only a student)</p>

<p>On the comm app website you can preview all the forms your rec/ counsellors have to fill. Teachers fill in one form (teacher evalutation) and Counsellors fill in several (School report, international supp, midyear and final reports, if asked for it). A counsellor/teacher needs only to fill in and submit a form once. this will then be copied into each of your school porfilos as you've specified. Egyou may want: Teachers 1 and 2 fill recs for schools A, B and C. and teachers 1 and 3 Fill in recs for school D. If you add or remove schools later on this DOES NOT affect your counsellor/ teachers as it's saved in the common app system.</p>

<p>I asked my teachers to do recs for me and the next day handed them: a copy printed from comm app of each of the form they had to fill in, a breif resume, and a letter thanking them for agreeing to do the recs (as it was asking them to go out of their way a bit because teachers in SA don't usually fill in things online) and basically outlining that they will soon be recieving a password etc and I outlined what kind of docs can be attached and then gave them a deadline to have the forms done by. (If anyone wants a copy of this letter message me and I'll send it to you along with some commapp presentation I found on the internet explaining the process for counsellors/ teachers). Hope this helps</p>

<p>Thank you so much!!!
I was worried because my teachers know nothing about the system but now it's all clear :)</p>

<p>Yes, I would like a copy of the letter and anything else associated with requesting teachers to write letters of recommendations online. Thanks in advance!</p>
