<p>is it alright to send the common application teacher recommendation form if I'm using the NU Online form for the rest of my application?</p>
<p>you can't use the common app and NU's online app, it's one or the other</p>
<p>I think you're wrong. I just found this on the NU website. </p>
<p>"Supplemental forms are available in pdf format for download. Northwestern also accepts supplemental forms provided by the Common Application."</p>
<p>at this address </p>
<p>I know I asked for advice, but you've got to realize that it's better not to respond than to provide incorrect information.</p>
<p>People make mistakes..... no need to be rude about it....</p>
<p>Generally, I would think the rule of thumb would be to stick with the type of application you are using (NU with NU rec. or Common App with Common App rec). </p>
<p>Call NU directly and ask if you don't like the "incorrect" information that is given.</p>
<p>I thought Cinci was polite but, direct.</p>
<p>If saying "I think you're wrong" is rude then I have no problem sacrificing manners for progress. </p>
<p>Maybe it was wrong for me to ask this question in the first place when I could of looked up the information on the website or called myself, but many people do the same thing. </p>
<p>That's why posters should heed wittgenstein's maxim:</p>
<p>Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent</p>
<p>Rude was the wrong word to use.
Sorry I said it.</p>
<p>I actually emailed NU about this, because I had the same question, except I wanted to use the common app and the northwestern recommendation forms. </p>
<p>NU replied that "it would be best to have the recommendation forms be in alignment with the application that you are submitting."</p>
<p>what's the email address?</p>
