teacher recommendations... the process?

<p>I had 2 of my teachers write me letter of rec, but I'm wondering if they'll be notified about which schools I apply to/send their letters to. Also, what is the normal way to thank them? A card and maybe a gift? Any gift ideas? I really love these teachers and want them to know that I truly appreciate that they wrote these out for me.</p>

<p>I think the best way is a hand-written thank you note and cookies. If you take the time to write out a note, and to bake them yourself, it really means a lot more than typing something up or buying something at the store. Also, a lot of times the cards are a total surprise- my teacher was so excited that she wrote me a thank-you note.</p>

<p>There’s already at least one huge thread on CC about thanking teachers. See <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ask-dean-topics/690427-how-do-i-thank-teachers-who-wrote-my-recommendations.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ask-dean-topics/690427-how-do-i-thank-teachers-who-wrote-my-recommendations.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>ok thank you :)</p>
