EconMist Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Folks, Some schools have their own specifc forms for recommendations. Some do not specify and just ask for letters of recommendation. Is it safe to assume that they don't have specific forms if they just say that they require "letters of recommendation? Econmist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafrk3in Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Yes. UCLA is the only school that I've encountered with recommendation forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cph Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 That is strange, but I have maybe misunderstood something... :hmm: from your list of schools (from the "which schools did you apply to"-thread), I have also applied to U Chicago MIT Princeton Stanford Northwestern NYU Yale These all had (paper) recommendation forms, except for Northwestern. But I guess I've only encountered the forms because my recommenders preferred to submit paper versions? EconMist, if your recommenders want to submit on paper, or if the school only allows for this, I think you should check carefully whether the school specifically states that it doesn't have a form. Of the schools I applied to, only 2 (Northwestern and Oxford) did not have forms, and they both stated this clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the schools I applied to, only 2 (Northwestern and Oxford) did not have forms, and they both stated this clearly. All of my recomenders submitted their letters online. Also, I didn't apply to MIT for technical reasons. I applied to UCSD instead because one of my advisors insisted that the posted GRE V minimum was not a credible threat, but this is off-topic. This is also off-topic, but anyone who is interested in games of information transmission should apply to UCSD (you still have a few days).
