Common Application: Instructor Evaluation when there are Multiple Versions

<p>I've searched CC, but nonetheless there's too much garble from freshman admissions to find the answer to this question (since most freshman do it online).</p>

<p>So many of us are making multiple versions to submit to each college individiually. However if some professors are submitting their rec. to multiple colleges, what do we do with the recommendation, as each printout "instructor evaluation" form would have a different application number depending on version? Therefore, the instructor evaluation printed out from version X for X college would have a different application number than version Y for Y college, yet the instructor must choose one to both X and Y.</p>

<p>Would the best be to get a generic instructor evaluation form for the professors to fill out (that has no application number)?</p>

<p>I’m not sure I understand your question. Doesn’t the evaluation form have your application ID, which stays the same no matter what edits/duplications you do?</p>

<p>Ah is that true? That the number (on the bottom of the form) stays the same despite a new application version? (I thought I had read on CC it changed because it’s a new app, idk)</p>

<p>Give it a go and see what happens. A lot of my information gets truncated for some reason so I’m going to fill the additional forms out by hand.</p>

<p>The instructor evaluation form doesn’t have any identifying numbers on it. The school will just match the evaluation to your file by name or SSN but not by Common App number.</p>

<p>You can print out instructor evaluation forms without logging into the CA site so there is no way for the form to know who you are. Unless, there is a difference if you log in first. In that case just get the form without logging in. You aren’t going to have the form sent to Common App you’re going to have the form sent to the school. They don’t need the CA number.</p>

<p>Yeah, I just logged in to CA first and saw the id number on the bottom. Just print out the form before logging in. The only difference I see is that you have to type in the info on the top of the form yourself. I don’t think the schools would even notice.</p>

<p>Alright thank you! I’ll do that.</p>
