If you have a cosigned letter...

How do you list it on your applications?

The name of the person who wrote and signed it?
Or the name of the person who signed it but is more "important?"

If it's a GSI/TA and a professor, I'll list the professor's name; if it's 2 professors (one more famous than the other) I would just list the one who wrote the letter. By the way, I have been able to list both names even with the on-line applications, yours won't let you do that ?

Yeah i'm referring to the situation where a TA wrote and signed the letter and had the professor sign it as well.

The applications i do, online and paper, just have a place to write the name and location of the author, or the name and title. I hadn't thought of putting both... I think I will stick with just one name though.


Have you guys been asked in your interviews about a particular letter author and your relationship to him/her?

well my letter service took care of that and they put the profs name first and then ta.

thats just the standard way to do it.
