<p>Is an online recommendation needed? Or would a mailed recommendation suffice?</p>
<p>“No school officials have been invited yet. Before sending the online invitation, please ask your school official in person if they are willing to serve as a reference for you. Click the Invite button below invite a school official.”</p>
<p>I just asked my college counselor about this today, and she said that the online recommendations are an alternative to mailed recommendations…it’s up to you and your teachers to decide which method you prefer.</p>
<p>These forms are the guidance counselor rec and the teacher recs, so it depends on the application due dates of the colleges that you’re applying to.</p>
<p>At least, I’m pretty sure about that. Better check with your counselor or wait for somebody ese to confirm =/</p>
