Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

My D has asked a couple people to write letters of recommendation for her. She was planning to use for Aps and scholarships. Is the only way to include recommendations through the common app by adding these recommenders and then having CA send them an email form to fill out? Or is there a way to attach these letters they have already given her?

Also, she asked her principal to write one. Do you think he could go under the teacher section or should he be “other”? The colleges she is applying to don’t actually require any recommendations so these would just be optional extras.

Thanks for the help!

A principal recommendation won’t count as a teacher recommendation – they are looking for input from classroom teachers in academic subjects. The principal letter could act as a supplemental letter for colleges that accept an extra one.
