If I am using the Common App, and it has a supplement, then is it okay that I just used the Common App's school report and teacher rec forms instead of CMU's personalized ones?

If so, then how is it possible to mail them all together and with my transcript, if I gave those individually to my teachers and counselor who mailed them separately?

And Personal Evaluation form? Isn't that just the equivalent of the school report form (which I used instead)?

I'm so confused.

I think it's OK, I did the same thing - they can't penalize us for it b/c it didn't specify what they wanted us to do anywhere! = ) And they woudn't want to penalize us anyway - we are two more applicants, and I am sure many others did the same thing ~ Hope this helps, and Good Luck = )

Wow Libsters I'm seeing you all over the same places as me, JHU, CMU, etc. Where else are you applying?

Anyway, I did the EXACT same thing as you guys, so I'm sure its fine.
