<p>Hey guys, I had a few quick questions about where to place various recommenders on the common app (and the mit app). There seems to be an "other recommender" section on the common app for some colleges; would this be where I would assign a research mentor for a supplemental letter of recommendation? For MIT, would this letter be assigned to the optional rec section? Some schools want the materials mailed directly to them, and I'm confused as to how im actually supposed to submit this recommendation. Also, if i took a class that doubled as the school paper, and the teacher was the newspaper adviser, would her rec go into the "teacher" section or the "other recommender" section? Thank you all so much! </p>
