<p>I'm getting recommendations, and I realize there is a section for waiving your right to see, which requires your signature.</p>
<p>Since my teachers will be photocopying the rec forms for multiple schools, can my signature be photocopied too? Becuase I don't see a way how I could sign each form if I'm waiving to see the recs at all.</p>
<p>Photocoies of rec forms and letters are perfectly acceptable. Schools know that teachers don't have time to refill and rewrite rec forms/letters for numbers of students.</p>
<p>hmm. but i read that signatures cannot be photocopied?
So how would that work...? I'm not referring to the letters themselves, but the fill-out portion on the common application, where signatures are required.</p>
<p>If that's the case, I'd think your school's GC would know this and arrange for the students to sign the copies.
It seems easier for the student to supply the forms already each signed. At my D's school, the students were instructed to attach the signed forms to the stamped addressed envelopes to each university applied to. Students filled out, themselves, parts of the form ...teacher's name, school, class etc that were just basic info. especially convenient for those teachers who were popular for recs.
Teachers would then fill out the boxes on the forms (the assessment parts), add their rec letter, and send the envelopes directly to the colleges.
I suggest asking your gc how he/she dealt with the signatures in past years.</p>
