<p>I already submitted my ED application, so I'm starting on RD applications so I have a back-up plan. I have two questions about teacher recommendations: </p>
<p>(this one is probobly ridiculous) For the Common Applications, do the teachers just write one recommendation and then photocopy it?</p>
<p>Is it okay if colleges receive my letters of recommendation before my application, since I want to wait till after I find out about my ED before I submit my applications (and pay the fees).</p>
<p>Yes, it's fine if the colleges receive your letters of recommendation before the rest of your application; they'll create a temporary file for you until the application comes in.</p>
<p>Most teachers will write one recommendation and photocopy it for each school (changing the name of the school in the salutation). I would assume the Common Application works in the same way (I'm not familiar with how the Common Application works though.)</p>
