<p>How many do they want ? two?
on their website it says we have to "fax it to them"? so we cant use a letter?</p>
<p>You MUST send a counselor rec.
You CAN send 1-2 additional teacher recs.
You can mail them if you want I believe, but a fax machine does the same thing and it is easier and quicker. The fax number is - (434) 924-7674 - if you didn't get that already.</p>
<p>It's all explained on the blog...the most recent post addresses recommendations.</p>
<p>So the teacher recommendations are not compulsory, but if we do want to send them, we send them through fax or mail?</p>
<p>We'd prefer to have them faxed. We're a paperless office and while we know we'll be getting lots of paper for the foreseeable future, we'd like to keep it to a minimum.</p>
<p>So there is no teacher recommendations form that we need to give to the teacher?</p>
<p>we simply ask them to write the recommendation(statement) for us and fax it?</p>
<p>k thanks, I have been confused and I was wondering.</p>
<p>And so the most possible recomendations we could have is 3(1 from guidance councelor, and 2 from teachers[optional])? Right?</p>
<p>again thanks</p>
<p>The common aplicaton website has a teacher recommendation form. You better call UVA and get it clarified about whether they want recommendations using this form. </p>
<p>I would think that UVA WOULD want to receive recommendations that used this form. It makes it so easy for both teacher and admissions committee if the recommendation form is standardized this way.</p>
<p>I don't feel strongly about the form. It's nice to have, but not a requirement.</p>
<p>So we don't have to use the form that the Common App gives for teachers? </p>
<p>Because I already asked and received recs from my teachers and I'm ready to fax them in. I don't want to ask them again to do the Common App forms because it'd be too much work.</p>
<p>I'm not sure I can address the question any more than I have already.</p>
