Can you submit Common App before Inviting a teacher?

Just wondering! Or do you have to invite one before you submit.

Basically what I’m trying to ask is if you submit the CA application will it no longer let you invite a teacher?

Yes you can submit it without all your recs, and you should submit the app by the deadline even if the recs aren’t in since they can be added past the deadline.

You have to invite the teacher but the recommendation does NOT have to be complete. It can be uploaded at any time. Another twist on this is say you invited a certain teacher or other recommender to College X. Say you wanted to add his recommendation to College Y too. If the recommendation is complete for College X, I’m 99% sure you can add the person’s recommendation in to College Y and it will show up in that college’s section of the CA Recommendations.

Thanks guys!
