Hello folks, I gotta couple doubts when I was filling the appln forms.. 1.There is this q which appears in most forms: "List the other graduate schools ur applying to" Is it ok to list the other univs Im applyin to?Wont it affect the appln in any way? 2.Another FAQ: Under the provision of Family Education Rights & Privacy Act a.I have retained my right to access this recommendtion b.I have waived my right to access this recommendation Which one do i choose? 3.Is it better to have the reco form given by the univ filled or better to get an LOR in the prof's own format? 4.Can I send photocopies of my LOR n Financial stat? If OK,Do i need to get my fin.statement atttested? Pls do help me out wid the above qs... thnx Ochre
