have not "invited" teachers for the rec. Help please.

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>my both teachers sent their recommendations by mail. However, the problem is that I did not "invite" them though common app website at the beginning. I just gave them the forms, asked for the letters, and they send it all to colleges. </p>

<p>Now, will the application let me complete the submission without those invitations showing green? I am sure the letters arrived. its just that because teachers were not invited from common.app website, its not being detected.</p>

<p>Any ideas what can I do in this case?</p>

2

<p>This happened to me too, you just have to put down their information regardless of whether they have sent in hard copies.</p>

3

<p>were not your teachers surprised? I dont want them to fill out something again. Should I just e-mail and tell them?</p>

4

<p>I don't know. I emailed them letting them know whats going on also but haven't heard back from them yet, obviously because they're on break.</p>

5

<p>but, will not it let me submit the application without teachers? did you try?</p>

6

<p>It won't let you unless they are on there. Yes I tried :/</p>

7

<p>so should I just ask my teachers to ignore it? Even though it will not show as submitted, will you be able to submit? DI you already submit? sorry for so many questions :-(</p>

8

<p>Well, that's what I told mine. I also told them to see if there's anything that says something about already submitting a hard-copy or something.</p>

9

<p>can I just put the wrong e-mail address? so that they never receive it? :-) It will not matter, since its already submitted by mail</p>

10

<p>I wouldn't recommend that lol....</p>

11

<p>but the letters are already sent. Why will it make a difference? I dont think so. And the teachers wont mind being disturbed during the holidays.</p>

<p>You still have to enter your teacher information regardless just don't include the email address. Then, on the school forms section, your teachers' names should say Offline Provider and you'll be safe to go. Or else, Common App won't allow you to submit the application.</p>

<p>Yes, do what xm1chelle said. Enter the teachers' names without their email addresses. That will allow you to submit your application online, but your teachers won't be bothered -- and yes, your rec letters will get added to your file after your college receives them.</p>

<p>hmm.. i did the same thing you did, stanford, but it says 'offline' next to my school forms. i was able to submit all of my applications.</p>
