<p>How does this work? How can I send my recommendations to the college? Do I send it through the common app or send it via mailbox?</p>
<p>From what I understand, your teachers complete their recommendations online. If he/she decides to ask you for a paper version, I think you just fax it in. I’m doing Questbridge too.</p>
<p>The teachers you list will receive e-mails about how to submit their letters online. They get the e-mails even before you actually submit applications; schools can access the letters only after you submit, however.</p>
<p>Do the teachers have to submit a separate teacher recommendation form for each college the applicant is applying to? Are the teachers going to know that their recommendation is going out to, say, 11 different schools?</p>
<p>yes, the teachers know which and how many schools they recommending you for. Most copy and reuse, but they can modify or even make make separate recs for the individual schools if they so choose. that allows them for example, to highlight your apptitude for a certain field of study on that particular campus.</p>
<p>According to the help section on the common app, the teachers will each write only one recommendation. That recommendation will be distributed to each school the applicant has selected.</p>
<p>With the common app you can, and generally should, do all your recommendations online. In that case you will not see the recommendation at all except possibly after you matriculate at college (depending on your waiver election). </p>
<p>If you are requesting snail mail recommendations for some reason, normally your teacher or the school will mail them out, not you. They are generally in a sealed envelope addressed to the appropriate admissions office with the teacher’s signature across the back after the flap is sealed. In this case you supply the addressed stamped envelope to the teacher. For snail mail recommendations, be sure your full name, high school and birthdate appear on the recommendation so the school is able to match it to the rest of your application materials.</p>
