Application Questions: Mayor Rec., Not Enough Sati, Ii Blanks, Financial Aid

<p>1: I know that Stanford requires two teacher recs, but then I would like
to include a rec. from a mayor. I can’t find any forms on its site, besides
their instructions “We ask that you instruct your additional recommender to place your full name–as listed on your application, your birth date and your current high school at the top of the recommendation letter.”
So, is the rec. writer supposed to just type it up his own custom
paper?</p>

<p>2:Sometimes, there aren’t enough blanks for SAT I and SAT II if
I put all my test scores that I have ever taken. Do I just limit
the blanks to the best I’ve ever scored to fit it on the app., more
specifically, the common app…</p>

<p>3: Lastly, is it true that having a job, recorded on the social security,
lowers potential financial aid from colleges? So, would it be better
to not write about my jobs in my apps.?</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<li>Yes, sounds like it.</li>
<li>Just put the best scores you have space for. The ETS sure will miss your business next year.</li>
<li>For fin.aid, it does not matter what you write on your application. Fin. aid is based on FAFSA and profile that you’ll have to fill out, and you will HAVE to record all your income there.</li>
