Teacher Recommendations

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Okay, so I know lots of people have posted about this, but I really want to make sure I'm doing this right. So far one of my recommenders has responded and he wants to do the paper version. I filled out the top part of the PDF form on my computer and emailed it to him. Now I'm going to send or give him the addressed envelopes so that he can send them in. A couple quick questions. Do I address it to the college's main address? For example, for Yale, do I put:</p>

<p>Yale University
PO Box 208234
New Haven, CT 06520-8234</p>

<p>or is there a more specific address I should mail it to? Also, when should the recommendations be sent out? I'm applying early action, so the deadline is November 1st, but it looks like the recommendations will probably be done before my entire application. I should add that I have sort of an unusual situation here. I'm a Running Start student, so I'm taking classes at a community college while in my junior and senior years of high school. This means all my recommenders are college teachers, not teachers from my high school, so we're not entirely sure how to do all this. Lastly, if one teacher sends the forms in on paper, do the other teacher and the counselor have to do that too or could they submit it electronically? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance! I really appreciate any advice.</p>

<p>You can find the right address by clicking the name of the college in this grid:</p>

<p><a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/MemberRequirements.aspx[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/MemberRequirements.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your teachers can send or submit their recommendations at any time, and they can each make their own decisions about whether to mail or submit online.</p>

<p>Finally, if you know your teachers intend to submit by mail, you should provide them with the pdf that appears within the School Forms section of your account.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
