Where can I find the recommendation form for W&M?

<p>I took a course at summer college and did very well in it, so my professor agreed to write me a recommendation. W&M is my dream school. Where on the website is the undergraduate recommendation form?</p>

<p>I don’t think they have a specific form. The best way to contact the professor would be through e-mail, which you can find in the school’s online directory. Good luck though with the college process!</p>

<p>Sorry, you misunderstood. I live in New York. This professor was just at a local college, CW Post, not W&M. Should I just get a general recommendation, or is there a specific recommendation form? Much obliged.</p>

4

<p>Well, there are forms on the CommonApp for recommendations, so once that comes out, try to send him/her a recommendation request with the previously mentioned form. Sorry for the misunderstanding.</p>

5

<p>…So I have to send the professor a thing to fill out later? I don’t get it. Sorry, I’m new to this.</p>

<p>Maurik… are you going to be a senior this fall?</p>

<p>The Common Application will come out with the 10-11 version soon… here you can see an example of the form that your professor would need to fill out: <a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/DownloadForms.aspx[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/DownloadForms.aspx&lt;/a&gt; click the one that says “teacher evaluation” (this is last year’s version)</p>

<p>Teacher recommendations do not require any particular form for W&M. You’re welcome to send the professor the Common Application’s Teacher Evaluation form when it becomes available August 1 (the professor can also download the form from our web site as of August 1) or the professor can simply write a recommendation letter and send it to us without any particular form.</p>

8

<p>So he can just write a general recommendation letter?</p>

9

<p>Yeah, you can send in a general rec, but I personally think it appears better if s/he fills out the rec form on the CommonApp site as well.</p>

10

<p>I’m going to see him for he last time on Friday…before August 1. Hmm…</p>

<p>The Admissions Office said it would be okay without a specific form. I would believe the Admissions Office and not worry about it.</p>

<p>Also, you might want to treat this recommendation as a supplemental one, and ask a junior or senior year teacher to fill out the Common App form.</p>

12

<p>Well I’m home schooled, so I have to grab all the opportunities for recommendation I can.</p>

13

<p>Now I understand. Still, the W&M Admissions Office wouldn’t have volunteered that no specific form was necessary if the office truly preferred receiving recommendations on the Common App form.</p>

14

<p>Right. Very well then, I’ll just ask for a general recommendation.</p>

15

<p>admissions said that just a letter would be fine, so that is fine.</p>

<p>alternatively, you can get the professor’s email address, and then figure out how to get the common app form to him/her when it becomes available.</p>

<p>a general recommendation is just fine. We have no preference for whether or not a Common App form is included. If however you do not include the Common App form, make sure the letter has your full name and some identifying information (birthday or address) so we can make sure to match it with your other materials.</p>
