<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p>Since I'm an international applicant, is it possible to submit and use common app without completing School Forms section? I'm going to send these forms via regular mail. </p>
<p>Should I somehow proceed with this section or leave it untouched? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Don’t know how it works at your school but all the counselor paperwork and official transcripts are not sent by students. Here is the US, you provide your teachers with stamped addressed envelopes and they send them. Counselors mail or upload their forms.</p>
<p>The school forms can be snail mailed but you or your school representatives will have to contact the common app as there is an option in their screens that they can choose to provide forms off line after you invite them. </p>
<p>Also you should have them put your common app ID number on the recs.</p>

Wow, I didn’t know that there is such an opportunity to chose.
That will solve the problem!
Thanks!</p>
<p>Hi, I am applying Stanford EA (from the US) and I don’t have my common app id on my school form that my counselor sent. Deadline is Nov 1. What should I do?</p>
<p>How do you know that your common ap ID is not on your counselor form?</p>
<p>I did not print out the forms online with my common ap id on them, I just printed out the school form from the download forms section
*my school form is being physically mailed in
I’m further confused b/c I have a green sign in the school forms part of the common app
Does this mean they accepted it even though I didnt follow their directions?</p>
<p>And what makes you think your counselor did not fill that in? </p>
<p>Remember your counselor forms are coming from your HS which the name is also filled in and unless there are others from your school with your name, it is unlikely they will mix you up.</p>
<p>I don’t follow what you mean about not following their directions. The school forms section is entirely not in a student’s control. It is in your counselor’s control and the teachers do their recs and submit them or mail them themselves.</p>
<p>You should have filled out the top and put in your common app ID. In any case, the college will figure it out (match it to your application) when they receive it. It is not like you are one of 10 John Smiths from Toledo, OH applying to the college.</p>
<p>Okay thanks I was pretty worried,
Stanford specifically says that your common ap id should be on all documents
That being said, im pretty sure theres noone in this country, let alone north america, with my name</p>
