<p>If I apply for, say, eight colleges that require teacher recommendations, will my teachers to have to fill out a recommendation form eight times? Or do they send the same one to all eight colleges?</p>
<p>Is the teacher recommendation "essay" the same each year, so I can ask my teacher to write one ahead of time? The common app requires me to pick universities before I ask for a recommendation, which I haven't decided fully yet. </p>
