Teacher Recs please help!

[Zhypronite]

<p>So I'm applying to RISD and Pratt but I'm not sure if I should print out the recommendation forms for these colleges to give to my teachers considering they do everything online (btw they don't do commonapp). Could somebody please clarify I've checked their websites but I still don't understand.</p>

<p>Both schools say that either their printed form or just a LOR from your recommender can be used, but RISD strongly wants you to use their form. I would recommend that you download and print off their forms to use, then there will be no problem matching the recs and the rest of your application.</p>

We strongly suggest that your recommender(s) use our recommendation form (pdf). Recommenders may also use their own stationery, but it is critical that they include your full name in the letter. Recommendations should be sent by the writer directly to the Admissions Office in time to meet the appropriate deadline.

4. Letter(s) of Recommendation: All applicants should submit at least one but no more than three letters of recommendation from teachers or professionals who have direct experience with the applicant’s artistic, academic and creative potential. An optional recommendation form is available online. If the form is not used, it is essential that the writer include the applicant’s full name in the letter. Letters should be sent directly to the admissions office.

<p>Thanks entomom! Also, if you are applying to schools via commonapp, do you have to print out the forms online for the teachers too?</p>
