<p>Is it okay to send the teacher recommendations and secondary school reports before sending the application?</p>
<p>Yes, whenever a school receives anything for you, they will start a file in your name and continue to collect parts of your application until it is complete. Just make sure the rec has your full name and any other identification necessary (SS#, CA number, college identification, etc.)</p>
<p>thanks for your help!</p>
<p>ooo I would have said just the opposite; my counselor told me not to ever send scores or recs before the application is actually there... She could be wrong though...</p>
<p>^ I would assume that entomom is correct. I saw a picture in an admission rep's blog of a files that were deemed 'incomplete.' Obviously they still keep everything, waiting for your next piece of the puzzle!</p>
<p>Often SAT scores are the first to arrive (sometimes the year before the application) due to free score reports.</p>
<p>Awesome. I was wondering the exact same thing.</p>
<p>We sent the application last. Score reports, teacher recs, transcripts, etc. all came first. No problem.</p>
<p>And it only makes sense. A student can't control what order things arrive in.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter what arrives when. Just as long everything is there by the due date</p>
<p>Very true - the US Postal Service sometimes conspires against us! :)</p>
