<p>for privates, they say submit part 1 as soon as u know ur applying there. what if the score reports and teachers rec arrived before you submitted, is that fine (meaning you send in ur stuff before they even have a file for you)?</p>
<p>Some colleges want you to send part 1 asap, so they can set up interviews and stuff like that. It doesn't matter what documents/reports get there first.</p>
<p>so basically, if those materials from teachers arrive first, they'll have to do a lot of shuffling and rearranging to assemble my file to find my part 1 that is submitted later</p>
<p>Don't worry. I've sent recs ahead of time and sent in application later and everything got put together. It's not the end of the world if they end up missing a teacher rec, just get your teacher to send it again.</p>
