Thanks for your responses. @payn4ward, I read your post and then emailed our teachers to please save as PDF so that they csn email the school’s admission office. At the same time, I had a little email interchange with Gateway to Prep Schools (he answered me back at 8:00 PST, weird!). He informed me that X school would not take their recs. When I responded back that X school would indeed accept them, and then asked them if they could somehow forward them through their system (we actually did this last year with SSAT), they then told me that they could not ) due to “privacy and security reasons.” The customer service (all email) rep also told me that our teachers will not be able to save the form as PDF, and that we will need to print them out separately and have the teachers mail them to the school, as @stargirl3 did.

FYI for anyone else out there. Wish that this year’s schools weren’t using Gateway. More essays and less help from the (not so) common app folks.
