Teacher Recommendations

<p>Can teachers see all the colleges you are applying to when they fill out the recommendation form on the common app?</p>

<p>Also, can teachers see how many recommendations you have/what teachers are writing it on the common app teacher rec form?</p>

<p>Thank you very much for your help!</p>

<p>I think they have a video on common app teaching teachers the steps to submit a student’s rec letter. You should look at it.</p>

<p>I watched the video, but it doesn’t say whether teachers can see the other teachers are giving recommendations.</p>

<p>I’m wondering because I first got 2 recommenders, and now I realized there were 2 other teachers that really liked me and offered to do recommendations for me. I don’t want teachers to get angry/sad/whatever because I didn’t use their recommendation.</p>

<p>No, teachers cannot see the other teachers or the schools you are applying to.</p>

<p>Do not have any teacher mention the name of any college in your recommendation or you will not be able to send it to all of your schools.</p>

<p>I have a question!</p>

<p>Do I have to choose all of the colleges(that I am going to apply to), before inviting teachers and principal(in this case, our principal will do the job of counselor.)</p>

<p>No. You should invite them right away so they have time to get your rec written.</p>

<p>You want to invite them so their name is inside the common app. Then you assign each teacher to be one of the recs you want for each school you apply to. So they have to be “invited” before you can assign them.</p>

<p>Thank you very much Lakemom!</p>
