LOR recommender in germany, lsac can't recognize german?
One of my old professors is currently teaching in Heidelberg University in Germany.
Voßstraße 2, Building 4400
Except, the B look-a-like letters turn into ? marks after i edit his profile.
What to do?
Karl Jaspers Centre
Voßstraße 2, Building 4400
Room 119
69115 Heidelberg
Can someone tell me what the heck exactly is the zip code, street address, city, etc...
I'm not a moron, but i'd like some confirmation especially from those of you of more European origins. Thanks.

Re: LOR recommender in germany, lsac can't recognize german?
I've studied german a while back, I believe you can change the "b" (I don't have special characters") to "ss". It has the same sound when you pronounce it, and I'm pretty confident it is an acceptable form since not all use/are familiar with that particular character.
May want to double check with others, it has been a while!

Just use a double-s ("ss"). That's technically what it is. DON'T use a capital "B!" A double-s is still technically correct in German, it's just not ideally efficient.

Re: LOR recommender in germany, lsac can't recognize german?
just cause i'm anal,
Vossstrasse 2?
That's a lot of s's
and i know this is largely irrelevant, but is there any way to add his phone number on lsac? Doesn't exactly fit the 3 digit limit that lsac seems to enforce.

Re: LOR recommender in germany, lsac can't recognize german?
if it's an inside joke i don't get it.
isn't heidelberg the best university in germany? My professor taught at Princeton, Emory, and now in Heidelberg. Isn't that a decent run? Not that prestige of recommender matters any more than their ability to write you a good letter.
Maybe it's heidelberg state uni. for all i now, lol, and i'm thinking it's just heidelberg uni.
Kinda seems weird that they say they're ranked #1 in the school's home page though.

Contact the LSAC directly via their contact page. Tell what your problem is. I am a military service member who put together my application while on deployment. The LSAC does not recognize APO or FPO addresses (its a military thing if your unfamiliar) Their webmaster altered the site so I could enter the information. The LSAC is very helpful with things like this. Aside from it being their job, its also a way to avoid a lawsuit....

i sent like... two packages to APO/FPO addresses before, but i don't get what that has to do with sending a letter to my professor. isn't APO/FPO purely military stuff?mhernton wrote:Contact the LSAC directly via their contact page.

What he means is, if they adjusted the site for him they might adjust it for you or already have a workaround for some of these issues in place for international applicants. You'll just have to call/email them, I think.bakemono wrote:i sent like... two packages to APO/FPO addresses before, but i don't get what that has to do with sending a letter to my professor. isn't APO/FPO purely military stuff?mhernton wrote:Contact the LSAC directly via their contact page.

Not a German major here, but I would just write Vossstrasse or Voss Strasse on the form. Type in Vossstrasse on google or wikipedia and it comes up as Voßstraße.
But if you are mailing anything to him you might want to write Voßstraße with the German characters as the address on the envelope.
As far as the European phone number, I just wrote the number in the space provided after I printed out the LOR form because it didn't fit when I typed it in. Didn't seem to be a problem.

Yo,
I speak German and can conclusively verify that the ss is the equivalent of the β or Eszett in most cases.
It is certainly acceptable in this usage.

Yeah, LSAC is not a fan of accents and such. The town I currently work in has an è in it, and in all of my applications it showed up something along the lines of e?idnakdkc, even though on the commn information page it appeared to be fine.

I thought the s-zet was being generally phased out in Germany anyway. Nein?

I think the Germans are holding it for some reasons and using ss for others, but the Swiss don't use it really at all. I'm pretty sure most Germans don't really like the spelling reform.ccs224 wrote:I thought the s-zet was being generally phased out in Germany anyway. Nein?
