<p>Is this okay? I gave my teachers 4 months preparation to write the actual recommendation and they told me to send it in and I did but I didn't send my application yet... this is normal, yeah?</p>
<p>Yes, this is absolutely fine. It is polite and expected that you would give your teachers plenty of time to get the recs done before the deadline. Schools will match them up with your app when it arrives.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter what order you get them in, as long as it’s all in by the deadline</p>
