IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMMON APPLICATION

You will be asked to provide e-mail addresses for your teachers' and counselor's recommendations (who can then choose to reply on-line, or "opt-out" and send hard copies.

We prefer that you provide your counselor's e-mail address for ALL your teachers as well so that we can "opt-out" and send hard copies of all the recommendations. This is a safeguard so that we can proofread all the recommendations prior to sending them, as well as keep all the paper portions of your application together.
