<p>I was just checking to see if I got everything right when I stumbled upon some things I wasn’t that sure of.
On some college websites, they ask us for “letters of recommendations”, but don’t provide any forms at all, just the “teacher evaluation” forms (the commonapp one). On other website, they don’t even talk about letters of recommendations but only about the teachers evaluations. They’re both the same thing, right ? When one college asks for letters of recommendations, does it just mean teachers recommendations ?</p>
<p>Also, if I’m planning to take my last subject tests on January, should I order for rushed scores ?</p>
Check with the colleges you are applying to. Most college websites explicitly specify which test dates are acceptable, and whether rushing scores is beneficial or not. Rushing scores may not result in faster delivery at all, depending on how the college chooses to have its scores delivered from Collegeboard. (For example, colleges can choose to receive all scores in batches at scheduled delivery times. You can order a rush report that will be processed sooner, but that doesn’t help if the college is not scheduled to receive new scores until two weeks later.)</p>
<p>The terms letters of recommendation and teacher evaluations are used interchangeably. (Make sure your teachers know that they are expected to write a recommendation, which usually focuses primarily on positive traits, and not an objective evaluation!)</p>
<p>Just to make sure I get everything right (would be stupid to make an error here), whether they’re saying “letters of recommendation” or “teacher evaluation”, the only form my two teachers have to fill in is the teacher evaluation form provided by the commonapp, is that correct ?
(Thx for your quick answer )</p>
