How do I go about requesting a recommendation

[andyisgod]

It seems like each school has their form to fill up. I certainly don't want to bother my professor to write up a bunch of letter of recommendation
I plan to apply to more than 5 schools.....so what do I do?

I used one reference form from the Career Services Office at my undergrdaute institution, Ohio Wesleyan, and gave it to the people who agreed to write references for me. Most schoool recommendations were identical to it. So, the professors filled it out and sent it back to the Career Services Office. The CS office sent copies of the confidential references to all schools that I applied to. It saved a lot of time for the people who wrote references for me; most schools are not picky what forms you use as long as the reference aswers all of the questions asked on the original form. Thanks.
