Recommendation letters

<p>I'm new to the college process, and I'm confused on how the recommendations work. Are the recommendations mailed or emailed?</p>

<p>For common app schools you will invite your teachers by email. Go to the school forms section of the app to see how to do this. Once they are invited, they then have the choice of submitting their recs online or by mail. Online is strongly preferred by most schools, but a lot of teachers are still submitting paper recs.</p>

<p>how can you tell if your teacher has submitted it or not? because my teacher says she did, but it still says incomplete on the site</p>
