Mailed-in Teacher Recs

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Ah! So the common application is weird this year, because it requires that we add two teachers online before we could submit our app online. But I gave my teachers envelopes, so they sent it in by mail early last week. And when I checked the status of my application on commonapp.org, it said that my school forms were not submitted. Do you think it's just because there's a lag due to the massive amount of mail yale must be getting, or did I do something wrong? Should I ask my teachers to submit another rec online, or should I just wait for Yale to process the letters they sent in by mail?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Wait until Yale processes it on your ELI account. I did the same thing... my teachers prefer to mail their letters of rec in.</p>

<p>I also submitted my teacher and counselor recs via snail mail. I think the ELI website said that it won't process your recs until Nov. 15th.</p>

<p>Wait, I needed to add teachers online? Where was that?</p>

5

<p>It was under "School Forms"... Were you able to submit the commonapp online without adding two teacher?</p>

6

<p>Oh, my school forms were mailed in, including the teacher recs.</p>

<p>I wasn't able to submit the commonapp online before adding two teachers and a counselor...if you're mailing in the recs, you can just intruct them to ignore the e-mails that they receive.</p>
