Is the common app private?

<p>Do teachers and counsellors have access to a student's complete common app when/after they write their recs? I'm concerned because I think it would be awkward if a certain teacher read my essays, saw my ECs, etc. Thanks!</p>

<p>Until you submit the application, you are the only user who can view it. Once submitted, the schools where you submit can view it as well.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
