<p>I have a few questions:
1. Should I ask the teachers I plan to add to the recommendation section before I add them?
2. If I'm applying to schools outside of the common app, and want to use the same recommendations, can I ask the teachers for a hard copy of their letter so I can submit them with my transcripts for those other schools. </p>
<p>I'm just extremely confused on how to do this all, my parents didn't go to school, so I'm sort of going at this whole application process by myself and I'm really stressed... Thanks!</p>
