Can I submit the Common App if the recommendations are not yet uploaded?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hello, all. I have finished the Common App in its entirety and am ready to upload it to a few schools. My letters of recommendation have not yet been uploaded to the system, and they are required. The teachers have been assigned to each college. If I hit submit, will the letters be sent whenever my teachers get to them? Or will they just be left out of the application? I just want to hit submit. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yes, definitely. Sometimes recommendations come after the app deadline! You want to make sure your portions are complete and you have paid any fees. The college may not actually download the app until all components are there, but you can go ahead with your portion.</p>
