trouble with the online app

<p>does anyone hate the online app? it is frustrating that they allow you to write so little. </p>

<p>but doesnt matter because i'm going to use it anyway</p>

<p>anyways, do you think it is okay to attach one more rec? and if so, how can i?</p>

<p>yes, I'm frustrated too.
I was thinking about sending Part II through regular mail. Is that what you're doing? Or are you sending all of it through mail? </p>

<p>I'm sure you can attach a rec if you're mailing it in. Otherwise...I don't know</p>

<p>You can't attach recs online. . . . . they're supposed to be confidential, and there's no place to do it anyway. What are you talking about?</p>

<p>I submitted Part 1 of my application like a week ago and it's still showing in my account as "started" or "not submitted." Does anyone know a way we can check to see the status of our application? Thanks</p>

<p>well if you did it through snail mail, then maybe it will take a while.
but i did it online and it showed it right away. </p>

<p>also, my rec is not from a teacher but from a community service leader. so i didnt know how to send that. any answer to that?</p>

<p>Just have them send a letter in an envelope to the address your teachers sent your other recs to.</p>

<p>i'm getting the impression they dont like supplements</p>

<p>do you think its a good idea to add that in? i mean its not essential but i think it will add some sprinkles to my app.. who knows though</p>

<p>They only want extra recs if it's in a college setting. . . . I considered my extra rec like a college setting, so I sent in an extra one. Suit yourself. Read the FAQ carefully on supplements and then decide.</p>

<p>Has your person already written this rec? Are you sending it to other schools, too? Don't make this person feel like he/she wrote it for nothing.</p>

<p>well she wrote it for my colleges/scholarships so its okay. </p>

<p>i'm just scared that if she sends it seperately, it might get lost and they dont know who the recommendation is for.</p>

<p>I suggest you at least put your name, address, and ssn on the recommendation. That's what they ask for on most of the extra stuff.</p>
