<p>I've got a slight problem with the submission of my teacher recommendation forms for the CommonApp. I've already given my teachers - and received in sealed envelopes - hard copies of the forms. The only problem is that I hadn't entered their e-mail addresses into the CommonApp beforehand. Now, on the CommonApp website, it says that after I enter their e-mail addresses, teachers will choose whether they want to submit their recommendations online or by mail, and that if they choose to submit them by mail (which they will), I will have to print out the forms from the CommonApp website. My question is will the new forms contain special printed details (e.g., with my name/ CommonApp ID printed), or will they be the exact same ones as the general ones found online? (In the case of the latter, the forms already completed will do.) And if the new forms contain specialized information, will it suffice to attach them to the forms already completed, or will my teachers have to fill out the forms all over again?</p>
<p>the forms will be the same if you download/print them versus electronically submit them, so i wouldn’t worry!</p>
<p>This is not a problem at all. Just put the sealed envelopes into a single larger envelope and include a note to the school that includes your full name, school, Common App ID and date of birth so they are sure to match the recs to your common app account. Once that’s done, you don’t need to provide the teachers’ email addresses to your common app account.</p>
