Order of submitting parts of app

Can guidance counselor send transcript and recommendations before son submits application? Getting worried about getting everything in before Xmas break!

Yes, the application will not be fully submitted until your son submits the Common App and Writing Supplement, but the counselor can submit his or her part before. Same with teacher recs.

whiz: folders get established whenever the first item comes in. Some students send SATs or ACTs years in advance. It all get filed together. No worries on this
