- • Finally, the student must personally consult with the teacher to confirm their willingness to write the letter and submit the completed form at least 3 weeks before the deadline.
Letters of recommendation are kept confidential between colleges to maintain
credibility and trust. They are sent directly to the institution via platforms like
the Common Application, email, or other corresponding methods. Letters are not
shared with the student or parents.

submits it to the office of the Assistant Director. If the transcript is required

informed.
