<p>If I remember correctly there is a form for the GC to fill out as well as a form for each of two teachers. </p>
<p>On the GC form there are a number of boxes he/she needs to check off as well as a space for the GC to add comments. GC can also enclose a separate letter if wished. At my D’s school the GC also enclosed a school profile in the envelope. If your school has a profile, your GC will most probably automatically enclose it. (The profile is a description of your school, grading procedures,etc, info that allows the college to know more about your school)</p>
<p>These three forms can be downloaded from the site and given to the GC and each teacher. (I don’t remember if its the same form for teachers that you download twice, or whether they are indicated as “Teacher1” and “Teacher 2”) Teachers also fill out this form, checking boxes etc. and include their rec letters in the envelope.</p>
<p>It’s best to send forms and letters in the larger envelopes so as not to have to fold the papers.
The address where to send I believe was indicated on the forms. If not addresses are listed on USC website.
On the outside of the envelope, in one corner, indicate the contents and your name, ID# if you have it. </p>
<p>At my D’s school, students were instructed to give the forms along with stamped addressed envelopes to GC/teachers (with your school’s return address), and the school itself sent everything to the college.</p>
<p>My D never used the bar code stickers since she received them late.
You can definitely put down your SSN/name, birthdate or your USC ID# (if you decide to do the Part 1, after which they will send you the ID #))</p>
<p>USC is very flexible and aware that applicants don’t always submit stuff as per instructions. It can be confusing when you start all the steps. They are also very helpful if you need to call them.</p>
