Sending teacher recs and transcript

<p>Do my teachers and counselor have to send the recs directly to the schools that I am applying to? Or do they send online? How does this all work?</p>

<p>What is the "school forms" section on common app.? Invite school officals?</p>

<p>So confusing!!</p>

<p>For recommendations: I would print it out, fill out the envelopes with the addresses and have the teachers/counselors mail them in. In that case, they would send them directly to the school, most likely to the office of undergraduate admissions. I know that some of my teachers would have forgotten to send it on the computer, and would be more likely to remember if there was an envelope and paper right in front of them, but that's just me. =)</p>

<p>I don't know what the school form thing is. I did not do the common application for anything. I just used the application the individual colleges had made.</p>
