Second part to counselor recommendation - YPS?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>I just found the second part to the counselor recommendation (common app secondary school report) on Harvard's website. Pretty scary, considering it wasn't mentioned anywhere on the common app.</p>

<p>Does Yale, Princeton, or Stanford have any ninja recommendation supplements I should know about? I was hoping you guys could give me a quick answer :)</p>

<p>Wow, I just noticed that too. Scary :O</p>

3

<p>Are we supposed to print the second part (Pages 3 and 4 of the PDF) of the counselor recommendation out and ask our counselor’s to mail it? My counselor already filled out the first part online.</p>

4

<p>Curious about this as well (both Luminouzz’s question and Jersey13’s question).</p>

<p>Also, Jersey13 - congrats on your 2500th post!</p>

<p>I already sent my stuff in, but did not send in the part 2 yet. The online thing says my whole application is complete already, so I’m not sure if I should send in the 2nd part.</p>

6

<p>^I used the search function a while ago and found this same topic from 1-2 years ago. Apparently, the second part of the counselor recommendation is required.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Yale, Princeton, or Stanford also have supplements for recommendations?</p>

7

<p>Whoa whoa whoa… I did not know about this.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, it’s pretty scary. Now we need to check whether Yale, Princeton, and Stanford also have ninja supplements.</p>

9

<p>Is there a way for this second part to be submitted online, or must it be mailed in?</p>

10

<p>I’m pretty sure it needs to be mailed in.</p>

11

<p>I just looked at it, and it seems pretty pointless too. This is annoying</p>

12

<p>I know Yale does not. Princeton does not either</p>

13

<p>^Thanks for the response.</p>

14

<p>Gave Harvard admissions office a call this am. They confirmed that Part II is not included in the Common App., is nevertheless required and must be completed and mailed in by the counselor.</p>

15

<p>can someone give me the link to it so I can print it out? I cant find it for some reason lol.</p>

<p>Please pm it if possible.</p>

<p>Here’s the link:
<a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/forms/schoolreport_1011.pdf[/url]”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/forms/schoolreport_1011.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
Hope it works. Pages 3-4 is the part that is not on the Common App.</p>

17

<p>Thanks. 10 char</p>

<p>Do any other Ivies or top schools have supplements that are not found on the common app?</p>

<p>I feel like I should read websites more carefully now, even if the schools are using the common app. Or is this unique to Harvard?</p>

19

<p>wait WHAT? We have to get our counselor to fill this out separately and then submit it?</p>

<p>1) I wouldn’t have ever known about this were it not for CC. Is this just a way Harvard rejects likes 50% of the applicants right off the bat–like, “oh, she didn’t read the entirety of the website–reject pile!” I can’t imagine everyone knows about this…</p>

<p>^I may have overlooked this if it wasn’t for CC, but I don’t think they reject that many applicants because of this.</p>
