About letters of recommendation
Letters of recommendation lets you add each teacher or mentor as a recommender, send a formal request, and watch the status update from pending to submitted. You can also view a list of universities that require letters, drawn from 929 recorded institutions, so you know exactly where each letter is needed.
The feature sits beside Essays and Activities list in the Write category, and it connects with Application tracker so you can see recommendation deadlines next to each university's overall deadline. Counsellors can also view the status during Counselling sessions to help you stay on schedule.

Questions
Can I see the actual letter content?
No. The feature tracks only the request and submission status; the letter itself remains confidential between the teacher and the university.
What if a teacher doesn't respond?
You can resend the request or add an alternative recommender. The status stays pending until the teacher submits.
How many universities can I link to one letter?
You can associate a single recommender's letter with as many universities as needed; each university's requirement is checked against the 929 recorded institutions.
Does this submit letters to universities automatically?
No. The feature only helps you request and track letters. Submission to each university follows that university's own process.
