<p>Ok, I just want to make sure of this stuff. When you address the envelope for the teacher, you put the office of undergraduate admissions address right? I always thought this was true until i saw on Cornell's site that they have like a different place to send recs from the office of undergraduate admissions, so now I just want to make sure. Would the address that is under the "school information" for each college on the common app website suffice? </p>
<p>Also, on the envelope, should we put our name or "teacher evaluation" or any other information besides the return/college addresses? </p>
<p>Also, is it okay if colleges receive teacher recommendations before you submit the actual commonapp/supplement to the college? or should we tell our teachers to wait to send it?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that you send everything in in whatever order you can, and the colleges simply file everything under your name until the app is complete.</p>
<p>I was told not to send transcripts or recommendations until I sent the common app. Otherwise, they have no file or stuff for you. You might as well wait unless you are applying ED.</p>
<p>antsofthesky, you were misinformed. It happens all the time. Juniors send SAT scores (their 4 free), recommendations and/or transcripts go in before you finish your application (you have no control, after all, on when your teachers or guidance counselor sends them), etc. Schools either keep your information in a "general" file until your application comes in and then retrieves it, or creates a file for each student when the first piece of information comes in.</p>
<p>It happens all the time; colleges know what to do with this stuff.</p>
<p>topoftheworld, you can put the teachers' names and school as the return address or you can put your own. Doesn't matter. The envelop will probably get tossed immediately anyway.</p>
<p>And don't "tell" your teachers when to send the rec. Unless they're first year teachers, they've done this before. And even if they are first year teachers, the high school has done this before and will assist them.</p>
<p>Once they agree to write your letters, the only thing you "tell" them is "Thank you."</p>
<p>^I've sent SAT scores but no recommendations or transcripts. Maybe I was misinformed. You do have control over when you teacher/counselor sends them, or at least I did. My counselor did the recommendation, put it in a sealed envelope along with the transcript and gave it to me so I could send it when I was ready. One of my teachers did the same thing with her recommendation, she held until I told her I was done. Neither of them had any problems with doing this.</p>
<p>That's great. Most students don't have that option, particularly those who may go to larger schools.</p>
<p>For example, my d's school required that she give the lists & envelopes to her teachers & the GC at least 6 weeks before the due date. They all sent their information out themselves. At the same time, she finished up her application.</p>
