<p>So we are supposed to provide our teachers' emails, and they send them a link to complete it online if they choose.</p>
<p>Do they want them to use the link because the generic teacher evaluation does not have our common app ID on it?</p>
<p>Also, one of my teachers says that he is not receiving the email. Possibly due to the school's spam blocker, or whatever, he has not received the link by email. Since I am applying early, there is only about a week left for him to complete this evaluation. What should happen now? I am clueless.</p>
<p>My S had a similar problem with one of his teachers. He printed the common app eval form and wrote the ID number on the bottom and gave it to his teacher. The teacher at his HS was able to complete the eval online but his other evaluator had changed high schools and for some reason the common app email link was blocked at that school.<br>
Also, his counselor was unable to complete her report online. Good Luck.</p>
<p>They want recommenders to use the online system because it is a lot more streamline and easier for colleges to access.</p>
<p>I would ask your teacher to try and unblock the common app, press the resend button, and then also print out hardcopies of the generic app. Write in your common app ID at the bottom and then give the hardcopy to your teacher with envelopes (but make sure they try to get their name added online as well). Then explain the situation in the additional comments section.</p>
<p>I just went paper all the way.</p>
<p>Yeah, online maybe easier for a lot of people...but from what I am hearing from colleges, they dont like it/are having more of a harder time with the funky things common app does to the recs (--or so the Princeton officers are saying)..</p>
<p>Anyways, you're fine if you just print off an app, and write your id no. at the bottom..</p>
<p>Great. I just might do that then. I really do wish that common app would do their job better. The future of hundreds of thousands of students rest upon simple internet erroes.</p>
