OK I've got a question for anyone that can help me. Some colleges have a portion of their application for teachers to fill out as a recommendation. Obviously, I'm getting teachers to write letters of recommendation for me. My question is: do they also need to fill out the part of the application for recommendation, or does the letter take the place of that? Thanks for the help

teachers have to fill out the checkboxes if they exist.

It depends on each school system - for my school, guidance takes the letter and attaches the letter with the form and so the space for the rec. would not be filled in.

i'm pretty sure it can happen with everyone - just they have to do boxes if they exist.

The teacher recommendation form will have instructions for the teacher. Often, they let the teacher attach the letter instead of answering some of their questions, but there's usually stuff they have to fill out on the actual form, like their names, and checking off if you are a "good" "excellent" etc, in a few categories.
Most likely, your teachers know all this, so just give them the form and an envelope and they will do the rest

Don't worry too much about teachers. Chances are they have seen plenty of rec forms over the years and should know what to do.
