When do teachers have to submit recommendations?

<p>Do teachers have to submit recommendations by the November 1st SCEA deadline? If so, does it have to be postmarked by that day? or received that day? Also...there's absolutely no reason I should try and submit a research paper or something? Will they just throw it away?</p>

<p>Stanford doesn’t like extra stuff (at least from what I’ve heard) so possibly write about your research in an essay? </p>

<p>Not sure about the teacher recs though.</p>

3

<p>Should be postmarked Nov 1.</p>

<p>Don’t submit extra stuff, they won’t read it.</p>

4

<p>Postmarked by nov 1st? Not received by nov 1st? Just to make sure.
How about an extra brag sheet showing more activities? Will they read?</p>

5

<p>Stanford asks that you not send an attached resume of any sort.</p>

6

<p>So the space on the application is absolutely all that we can put in?</p>

7

<p>…remember…
If you are applying with an ARTS supplement RD, the teachers have
to submit by Nov. 15th.</p>

<p>…also Stanford has this special sized envelope rule,
and a bunch of other rules…that you need to tell
your teachers about.</p>

</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>November 1 is a postmark date for recs and anything else, except ARTS supplements that have to ARRIVE by certain date (used to be Oct 15 for EA, if I remember correctly, but you better check if you are sending something)</p>

<p>Thanks…</p>

<p>what about the extra space you can attach stuff in the Common App? Is that considered ‘extra’</p>

<p>Before they started accepting Commn App, Stanford used to allow one page of “extra” material if you had something truly significant to add. I am not sure how they do it now, but they generally very much opposed to any extra stuff, and claim throwing it out without reading.</p>

<p>If you have an abstract of a published article, or something similarly significant that can’t be put elsewhere on the app, you can try and put it there.</p>
