<p>Once my teachers and optional reference have completed their reference letters, should I collect these letters from them in sealed envelopes or should I have them send the letters directly to the schools? (how would they know who I am? --> generic name)</p>
<p>Also, I'm applying for RD. When should these letters be sent in by?</p>
<p>Okay, so should I put date of birth information, or is there some student number that I should get from the universities before having these letters sent (which I include with the letters). I'm just confused how they can differentiate John Roberts from the 2000+ other John Roberts'?</p>
