<p>all of which use either the teacher recommendation reports, or whatever from their respective applications.</p>
<p>I was looking through their ‘application requirements’ and all they mention is stuff like “teacher reports” or what not. Does that mean the online print out recommendations??</p>
<p>I don’t see ANYWHERE “hey, you need 2 letters of recommendation”</p>
<p>So, I’m confused. Can anyone clarify what I need/not need?</p>
<p>The MIT one doesn’t say anything about a letter, just filling out the ‘forms’</p>
<p>The Rice one says ‘teacher evaluation’ which is, I assume, the form from the common app.</p>
<p>Stanford says “teacher evaluation”… which I THINK means the forms on the common apps. (since on the common apps, there are 2 forms called “teacher evaluation 1, teacher evaluation 2”</p>
<p>So yes, REALLY. </p>
<p>Because I always heard of WRITING a letter of recommendation, I think its weird that all they need is just to fill out some forms.
All I’m asking is if the schools think of these fill out forms as letter of recommendations, or these forms are just… more bulk? that teachers still have to write a letter, etc?</p>
<p>Have you looked at the teacher evaluation forms for MIT (they’re on the page I linked)? The teacher will be writing your recommendation letter using these forms.

<p>
</p>
<p>Yup. Since Rice uses the common app, you use the teacher evaluation form from the common app.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Since Stanford also uses the Common App, you use the teacher evaluation form from the common app website for both of your teachers. There’s no “evaluation 1” or “evaluation 2” thing on the Common App (you’re thinking MIT, which doesn’t use it).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Again, read the teacher evaluation forms; your teachers will still be writing you a letter to be attached to the form after filling in the check boxes in the beginning. From the common app teacher evaluation form:</p>
