Q about recommendation letters. Do professors have to submit letters to each school or do they submit once to Common App?
Also, can you submit application before professors put their recommendation letters? Is that okay or prohibited? If it’s okay, do schools accept it?
As a high school teacher, I submit my letters to the Common App. I also submit a copy on letterhead to the guidance office, since not every kid will use the Common App for each of his schools. Then, after August 1, I go back to Common App and complete the checklist on each kid I’ve written for.
And, yes, it’s fine if your letters don’t arrive at the same time as the rest of your application.
I’m not sure about the professors you’re speaking of… are you a transfer?
@bjkmom yeah I’m a transfer student. Thanks for the info.
