<p>hi I'm just wondering how i should get my proffs to send me recs? should i give them stamped envelopes? or is there another way?</p>
<p>i am also wondering who do i give the College Report to at my college? and how does it get sent out to the colleges that I'm applying to?</p>
<p>also how do i get my college transcript submitted to the colleges that I'm applying to?</p>
<p>The recs are a little confusing, basically you need to give them a stamped/addressed envelope and then they seal the envelope and sign over the seal to show that it hasn’t been tampered with. I think the same goes for college report, but you get your counselor to do that. Your counselor will help you with your transcript too.</p>
<p>^Yes. Another method is to give them addressed envelopes, but have them return them to you so that you can put on the proper postage and mail. As long as they seal the envelope with the form/LOR/transcript in it, you’re fine.</p>
<p>For the College Report, it varies by school who does it. Start with your advisor, but it may also be an administrator within your college. Whoever does it, you should arrange to have your official transcript accompany the College Report.</p>
<p>For both LORs and the College Report, you will have to provide a printout of the forms with your information filled out at the top. They can then fill in the information and make copies for the various schools.</p>
<p>alright thanks, do i have to go to my student records office and get them to mail my college transcript? or does the transcript get set with the college report( because it says to attach a college transcript)?</p>
<p>That’s really a question you should ask your adviser or someone at the student records office.</p>
<p>Wait do they really have to sign over the seal? I didn’t tell my professor to do that!</p>
<p>It’s pretty standard so that a school knows it wasn’t tampered with, the same is done for official transcripts. I don’t know how strict colleges are about this, and your profs may know to do it themselves.</p>
<p>alright sweet as. I’m also wondering all of my deadlines are around march 15th and I’m not planning on submitting my application till then so when should i ask my proof from last semester for my rec’s? Im not sure if i should wait till march to ask them because i don’t think i should submit recs if my app hasn’t arrived yet, but i also don’t want them to forget me? what should i do?</p>
<p>Heavens no, don’t wait until March. Ask now so that they have a couple of month window to work on it, profs are busy people with many other commitments. </p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if they send it in before your application is submitted, just like with fr admissions, schools will hold on to pieces of your application until your packet is complete.</p>
<p>alright cool thanks for the info.</p>
<p>Hello guys! I am applying to 7 schools as transfer student. Is it okay if I just give one form to prof then photocopy the filled form 7 times and send 7 of them by myself? I kinda feel awkward giving 7 envelopes to my prof.</p>
<p>I also have a question. Some of you seem to be sending the loose components of your applications (transcripts, LORs, etc.) separately, but can’t I just gather all this stuff (with each in its own signed, sealed envelope) and send it together in a larger addressed envelope?</p>
<p>Testerz,
It’s fine to give 1 form to the prof where you’ve filled out the top part, they can then fill out the rest, xerox and sign the copies. However, they then need to put the each copy into an envelope, seal the envelope and sign over the seal. This is the way that colleges know they weren’t tampered with. </p>
<p>You can either address and provide postage on the envelopes and have the prof send them, or have the prof return the envelopes to you to prepare and send.</p>
<p>pencil,
Yes, that’s absolutely an option to have everyone return the signed envelopes to you and send them yourself in a larger one. This can be a good way to assure that everything is accounted for and got sent to the correct places.</p>
