<p>Does anyone know if you can have teacher's send recommendations before the common app comes out? (If I create an account?) I'm currently a junior and I'm having my junior year teachers do them. I don't want them to forget all my class participation/personality over the summer, and everyone else asks for them in the beginning of senior year and I want to send in my app as soon as everything's done, so I don't want to be waiting on my teachers to finish them?
Thanks for any information you can give me!</p>
<p>They can write it now and then submit it when the app comes out</p>
<p>It’s not a good idea to have them write a rec junior year. Frankly, you’ll seem over-eager and a bit odd. It’s fine to prime the pump, so to speak, by going to your teachers this year (later in spring) and asking whether they’ll be willing to write a positive rec for you in fall.</p>
