<p>I've applied to 8 schools whose deadlines have already passed. I submitted everything and asked my teacher if he started his recommendation yet only to realize that I had used the wrong email (put yahoo instead of gmail), so I barely invited him today. Will colleges count that against me, since they can see that I assigned the recommendation a day or two past their deadline? Or should I email the schools to explain?</p>
<p>If the applications are submitted, that is all that matters. If the email address(es) are now corrected, get those submitted and all will be fine.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you so much TD2Belt!</p>
<p>I’d like a clarification of ‘assigned’ as DS is in the same situation (I think). </p>
<p>DS is planning to major in computer engineering, his programming teacher had said that he’ll be glad to write a recommendation, but DS didn’t get the teacher’s “Yes” till recently and didn’t him to Naviance before submitting his CommonApp to Santa Clara U. (his first choice school). The CommonApp now shows that SCU has already downloaded his application. </p>
<p>So if DS assigns the teacher on Naviance now, will the colleges receive the recommendation once uploaded to eNaviance? (the only other recommendat is from a teacher who unsolicitedly offered to write him a recommendation, but it’s from photo, not a core class for an Eng school.)</p>
<p>He’d really like the new recommendation read by SCU, as it is from a teacher in his intended major, and it is likely to be a good one – DS’s programs were always “more sophisticated” than what was assigned, he self-taught Python in order to program a cool game for another class, etc. – but due to surgeries/illnesses he messed up and didn’t request it from the teacher early. </p>
<p>So should he contact SCU, or his young GC, or count on eNaviance notifying each college on DS’s “applying to” list that there’s a new school form?</p>
