<p>One of my teachers has already sent out my rec letter to the schools I'm applying to via snail mail. Is there any way for me to know whether or not my colleges (which use the Common App) have received the letters?</p>
<p>Many colleges have an online tracker – updating when elements of your file arrive. However, plz know that the US postal svc is extremely reliable. If anything were missing, the college would contact you well in advance of any deadlines. It’s in *their *interest! Remember, they’re looking for a reason to admit you.</p>
