If OK,Do i need to get my fin.statement atttested? Pls do help me out wid the above qs... thnx Ochre

The first question is not really a trick question or anything.It might be a kind of guage on how you view the strength of your application or yourself as an applicant.Some schools use it to say stuff like:" 20 people rejected offers of admission from xxxxx to come to our department".
Secondly, people generally waive the right to view their recs because the recommender also receives the response to this question the answer of which may affect the recommenders recommendation-this just depends on the recommenders feeling about it.The upside to not waiving your right is that in the future, if you are to apply to any school or for a job,you can request recommendations from people that you KNOW have given you stellar recs Third, does not really matter.If it is online,the recommender fills out a form in the schools format whichever way. 4,I dont think you can send photocopies. |
