<p>so one of my teachers wants to submit his teacher eval online and the other wants to submit it through snail mail. I can track the evaluations that are submitted online because it shows up as "completed" on the Common App website.
However, the other evaluation is gonna be submitted through mail, so does that mean it won't show up as"completed" on the common app website?</p>
<p>If it doesn't show up, is it gonna prevent me from being able to submit the common app online? It says that "this school requires 2 teacher evaluations." so what do i do??</p>
<p>As a parent, I recommend talking to the snail mail teacher and asking them to submit the letter online. if they are unwilling or unable to comply with your wishes, I would politley thank them for their time and interst and move on to another teacher.</p>
<p>Good luck. I know that’s a difficult time for all concerned, but it will get better! :)</p>
<p>Poster 2s advice is so bad it’s not even funny. Schools normally receive many mailed rec letters. In no way will it affect your chances. Your offending teachers by doing something boorish and rude like poster 2 advise certainly might.</p>
<p>no, not how it would affect my chances–that’s not my question.
i’m asking whether the other mailed eval will even show up online as completed, or will my application be deemed “incomplete” without the 2nd rec submitted online.</p>
<p>We had this same issue last year with my son’s Brown App. One teacher wanted to submit with a mail in form. It will never then show up as “complete” in the Common App. account. However, the good news is, you can track your application status with the individual college. So in my son’s case, he could login to the Brown site and see that yes, all his evaluations were received --shown as “complete”. It’s annoying to have a school showing as incomplete in the Common App. account, but just trust the college’s own application status. </p>
<p>There’s no need to tell a teacher that you’d prefer he/she submit it online. Some of them are just older and used to mailing them in. Just print off the forms on Comm App., address them to the colleges admissions dept. (you’d be shocked by how many teachers mail them to Common APP.!!!, so address it for them!), and provide the stamps. Be sure to give teachers copies of SAT scores, AP exam scores, GPA/transcript copy, and an updated resume. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, the due dates for each application. </p>
<p>If they are submitting online, give them to login/account number (they don’t need this though is school uses Naviance).</p>
<p>Thanks!! ur the best…tho apparently, i emailed commonapp and they said that any offline recs will be updated to the commonapp website as complete once they are received.</p>
<p>Yeah, Common app. told us that too, but I’m guessing it depends on whether the college lets them know that they received it via snail mail. A college like Brown, that is receiving over 30,000 applications, may not have time or concern to “update” Common app. aacount for one individual rec letter. So, yes, there’s a chance that they will update the account, but if not no worries --just track the status of your application through the college you are applying. </p>
<p>Wait so just a quick question, does common app allow you to submit your application to the designated school even if your teacher evaluations don’t show up as “submitted”?</p>
<p>Yes. You don’t need your teacher recs to submit. If your teachers are submitting by mail then just omit their email address and it pops up saying that they are submitting by mail. The common app never tracks to see if your documents are received you have to go to the individual school to check that.</p>
