Sent common app teacher rec forms to schools that don't use common app.

Applying to College

<p>Title pretty much says it all. This happened for 2 schools: Arcadia and Pitt. A couple of months ago when I requested transcripts from my gc and recs from my teachers and gc, I said that all my schools used the common app. So they sent out the common app teacher evaluation forms and school report forms to all schools. Now I am finally sending in my apps to Arcadia and Pitt. I realized that Pitt doesn't use the common app. For Arcadia, I am applying using their Priority Decision Application. So, what should I do? Should I send in the proper forms asap? </p>

<p>Also, regarding that Priority Decision Application, I am ambivalent as to whether or not I should even use it. On the one hand, I would receive a decision in 3 weeks and the application is free. On the other hand, there isn't a lot of room for ECs and awards/honors. Moreover, if I don't use that application, I would use the Common App for that school, eliminating my form problem for that school.</p>

<p>You are fine. Pitt does not require rec letters but you can provide them as supplemental material and it does not matter what form they are in and thus common app forms are fine. Arcadia which requires letters also accepts the common app form. As long as the forms have actually been sent they will be matched with any application file you create not using the common app.</p>
