<p>Well the practice for us is that the school seals the envelopes officially, the counselor signs across the seal, and it’s given to us, so there’s no real manner in which a student can tamper with a rec.</p>

<p>My school does exactly what k_twin’s does. Teachers and counselor sign across the seal of the envelope.</p>

<p>Interesting post by Matt McGann, Admissions officer at MIT coincidentally on this same topic. Thought it’d be worth a read.</p>

1050

<p>Anyone still got apps to submit?</p>

1051

<p>Dude i have 10 apps to submit till 1 Jan.</p>

1052

<p>why dont we stard groups in our respective cities where all can meet and discuss their essays, college options, help each other with SAT toefl and stuff?</p>

1053

<p>I’ve submitted CommonApp to all. I’ve still not sent supplements of 3-4 universitites. I just feel I can make the essays better somehow. But I’m not making any progress :(</p>

<p>I blame it on the Holiday season. ;)</p>

1054

<p>hey guys! sorry I couldnt reply to your posts, I live in Hong Kong and the internet was down for a couple of days due to the Taiwan earthquake!</p>

1055

<p>I still have to finish one essay for Princeton, and write about my intended major for MIT. Yeah, I’ve been slacking. (I blame the fact that I have exams from Jan 2. Hey, it’s a good excuse!)</p>

1056

<p>Ah, I can empathize, Lakshya, that’s the reason I put off my own submission for so long; I’d suggest you submit soon though, sites tend to get cranky near the deadlines, the MIT application was moving at a sluggish pace when I submitted a few days back.</p>

<p>Anyway, I’m glad to announce that I’m done with the application process except for mid-year reports, everything else’s been sent! :)</p>

1057

<p>I finished and submitted all my apps on the 17th. Just waiting for the acceptances/rejections…</p>
