Questions about Common App

<p>With the common app, would the teachers give it back to me directly and I would send it in myself and make copies of it or what? Also, even though each school signs and agreement stating that they have to give equal consideration with apps that use the common app and then apps that don't, do you think that it could make difference, like if two students are tied but one used the common app and the other one didn't?</p>

<p>I guess I'm just kind of dumb because I don't exactly know how this works. Like do i give only one rec to my teacher and then make copies myself? And then I fill out the common app once, make copies of them? Or do I have the teachers fill out a sep. common app for each school (actually that would kind of defeat the purpose... so that's kind of a dumb question.. eehhh)</p>

<p>Thanks for all of your help!</p>

<p>Since I planned to apply to four common app schools, I just gave four copies of the common app rec form to each teacher and let them handle all the work.</p>

<p>I don't think using the common app has any disadvantage. I was too lazy to fill out a whole new form, so I decided to just send in the common app. Princeton apparently didn't care.</p>
