<p>Will my teachers have to fill it out 5 times? Or will it just fill it for all of them and once they submit it, it goes to all colleges?</p>
<p>If you're doing it online, it goes to all colleges once they submit it.</p>
<p>if you're doing it on paper, they can make photocopies.</p>
<p>Don't want to hi-jack, but I have some questions along the same lines. We've tried to figure out from info on the Common App. site, but haven't really been able to.</p>
<p>We have 1 teacher doing it on-line
1 teacher doing in hard copy</p>
<p>For the one on-line - is his "stuff" automatically sent to EVERY college on my son's list? How about if there are different versions, so different "my college" lists?</p>
<p>Also, because some schools only require 1 teacher rec., there is only room to put in one teacher when you are completing the "school forms" part of the Common App. We used the "hard copy" teacher because he is a "stronger" recommendation. OK now, hopefully you are still following me: the on-line teacher has completed and submitted his work. Will it go to ALL the schools, including the ones he is not specifically listed on? (He is an "invited" teacher; just not specifically listed for certain schools?) </p>
<p>Also, for the schools that only require 1 recommendation, can this second teacher (doing it on-line and not being listed on the Common App) just "print-out" his paperwork and drop it in the mail (in the envelopes we provided, but he's not using for most schools, since he did on-line)?</p>
<p>I'm trying to make my questions clear, but I'm not sure if I'm being successful!</p>
<p>Also, when the other teacher mails his hard copies, the schools just need to manually "match them up" with the correct application? I guess that sounds like a silly question, but I'm feeling a little paranoid about how this process works.</p>
<p>If anyone can help me out with these recommendation questions, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks.</p>
<p>Go to the School Forms section and add both teachers to the "master list":
Enter the email for the one who will be doing it online when you add him/her to the list. DON'T enter the email for the one who will be doing it on paper when you add him/her to the list. Fill out all other information.</p>
<p>Then you go to the section for each school specifically and add the teacher(s) from the "master list" who will be doing the recommendation(s) for that school.</p>
<p>The teacher who does it online simply has to log on and submit it when finished. It will automatically go to all schools to which you assign it. The teacher who does it by paper fills out the form, photocopies it, and then sends it by mail to the individual schools. You can avoid confusion at admissions offices by putting your name on the outside of the envelopes.</p>
