Fin docs n recos

[ochre_12]

Hi
am in d process of sending my applns to the univs..
i have 3 qs:
1.i have got a bank statement from d bank manager .do I also need to get an affidavit of support from my sponser(my father)?

2.From the discussions held at forums,i gathered tht a solvent certificate must be attched to this affidavit..is it a must tht this has to be done or can I jus attch the BS wid the affidavit?

am apping to NEU..I have a BS saying my sponser can finance my education to upto 42,000$
For NEU,the fee for the first year itself comes to 41,000$..

3.most univs have reco forms..incase my recommender wants to write a letter in his own format,do i have to ask him to sign the form anyway?and where shud i ask him to mention tht he is attching a letter in his own format?

thanx a ton,
