1. My recommenders have each asked if they can simply type a standard letter of rec and sign a copy for each school, rather than complete each school's individual questionnaire/LOR. Would this be okay, or would B schools look down on it?
2. I'm a bit confused on how I submit my LORs. Should my recommenders mail the LORs themselves, or do they give them back to me once completed and I Fed Ex them to each school?
3. I am using two past supervisors as my LOR candidates, rather than a current supervisor. Some schools request that you mention why you did this in the optional essay. Am I expected to write an entire essay on why I did this, or just explain the situation in a few sentences? (In short, I used two past mgrs because I was concerned about what my current mgr would say if she knew I was gone in a few months)
4. If I am also explaining something else in the optional essay portion, would I mention all of this in the same essay, or add a new optional essay for each issue I want to clarify?
