adding recommenders on the common app

Hey,
I was curious about how adding recommenders worked. I invited 2 teachers and assigned them to 1 of the few schools I’m applying to. Do i have to assign them to all of the schools before they write/ submit their letter, or can i add a school after they have completed the letter?

You can add them to all of the schools beforehand to make it easier for them to be able to submit all of their letters at once. Technically though, you can add a school after they completed the letter. The only problem with that is that they will need to upload and submit their letter to that other school. If you do decide to add another school after the teachers have written and submitted the letters, I would either email or tell them in person that you added another school and need another letter of recommendation (even though an email will be sent to them from the common app saying that you added them). Hopefully this makes sense!

You don’t have to add them all at the same time. When you add more school to CommonApp later on and assign them to that school, their LORs will be linked to the application automatically without further action.
