<p>So for the college report form, do I print that out and take it to a councelor and then mail it it with an official transcript? or do I email the form to a councelor? </p>
<p>same thing goes for the secondary school report. do i take that form to my high school or do i forward the form to them?</p>
<p>and lastly, what is the deadline for these forms? I didn't see one on the site.</p>
<p>1 & 2 On both of these forms, you need to fill out and sign the top portion, then give the hardcopy to your college/HS.</p>
<ol>
<li>The deadline is the same as the deadline for your application.</li>
</ol>
<p>so that means i can’t send in my official transcript? because on my college website it has an option to order an official transcript.</p>
<p>Not sure why this should preclude you from sending an official transcript, as a matter of fact, for most schools you MUST send an official transcript. </p>
<p>For instance, once the CR form is filled out by your school, they can put it in a sealed, signed over the seal envelope, and give it back to you. And you should be able to pick up an official transcript in a similarly sealed envelope. You take both, put them in a larger envelope and mail to the school.</p>
<p>If you’re referring to the deadline, you send an official transcript that shows your grades through fall semester by the deadline. Then, if the college asks for an unofficial midterm report for spring sem, you send that. Finally, if you are accepted and decide to attend, you will send another official transcript that shows your final spring semester grades.</p>
<p>ok thanks. and is there a way to type on letter of recommendation form? I would hate for my professor of choice to have to hand write the same thing repeatedly, as i will use his recommendation for different schools.</p>
<p>While the prof has to fill out a few lines and check boxes, they can print out the evaluation letter on a separate sheet of paper.</p>
<p>markfoti100 said in the usc transfer thread "Wait, I don’t think transfers use that letter of rec form. I called the other day and admissions said transfers don’t use that because lor’s aren’t required for xfers, so she said to just have the teacher write a regular letter "</p>
<p>is this true?</p>
<p>It depends on the requirements of the school. There is a common app form of an instructor evaluation that is very similar to the letter for teacher evaluations from high schools for schools that require it. If schools do not require it, and you would like to add additional information, sending an extra letter with your name/DOB/current school is acceptable for most admissions offices.</p>
<p>well i’m applying to usc as a transfer and the letter of rec is optional. i just want to know if what mark said is true. can i skip the form and just have the teacher write a regular letter?</p>
<p>I’m an international student currently studying in the US and want to transfer.</p>
<p>I e-mailed my HS counselor the CA form, she typed the evaluation in, marked the checkmarks where necessary, signed it and is now going to mail it to my universities along with my transcripts (original+official translations) and HS certificate. </p>
<p>Is this acceptable? Am I doing something wrong?</p>
<p>Also, super-dumb question - say, I e-mail my professor about a recommendation and print out the CA form, fill the top part and bring it to his/her office. Then, when s/he is done, I pick it up, get my official transcript, put everything in a big envelope, write the address on it and drop it in a mailbox on campus. Am I doing everything right? Again, I’m an international student and I’ve never mailed a document in my life, so forgive my ignorance.</p>
<p>It all sounds fine, with one addition:</p>
<p>For the HS Secondary Report, Instructor Evaluation form, and all transcripts, the important thing is that the paperwork is put in an envelope and signed over the seal by the appropriate person (eg. HS GC, prof). This makes the forms ‘official’ and shows that they have not been tampered with.</p>
<p>Finally, whether you or someone else does the actual mailing, I always recommend that the return address should be yours. Because incase something is returned, you will be able to deal with the problem immediately. If it goes to your old HS, a college prof or office, it may sit around or get lost or misplaced.</p>
