<p>I originally was going to apply early decision to school whose deadline is November 1st. I think my school already sent my transcript and I have an Alumni writing my recommendation which I don't know if it was sent it yet. I havent sent my actual application yet through commonapp so am I okay? If I decide to apply regular decision is it okay if my transcript and (POSSIBLE) letter was sent? I think im just freaking out but im not sure. :c</p>
<p>Yes, it happens all the time that transcripts & letters are received before the application. Just apply when you’re ready, don’t check ED, and it’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Out of courtesy you should alert the alumni writing the recommendation that you will not be applying ED. It is not a problem if other stuff gets there early – if you don’t check that you are applying ED and send in the ED form they won’t consider it an ED application.</p>
