I was wondering if anyone knows if the process for applying to the schools is similar to applying to a job? For example do they call your previous employers and volunteer locations? I'm wondering bc I volunteered over seas (my parents work for the military) so I'm not sure whether or not they would be able to get the information. Also does it matter if you volunteered like 5 years ago rather than more recently???
One more question, as far as the recommendation form, is that the only recommendation form you need or do people usually attach a full letter from the people they have full out the form?

Much help is appreciated!
Thanks!
