Teacher Recs - Downloaded vs. Submitted?

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I just noticed that my first teacher rec says "downloaded", but my second rec (from a different teacher) says "submitted". What is the difference?</p>

<p>I'm worried that my first teacher thought he submitted the forms and letter electronically, but didn't by accident. Let me know if you can clarify between the two statuses.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>does anyone know how to answer this?</p>

<p>I think submitted means that teacher has submitted his/her letter of rec.
And downloaded means college has recieved or downloaded. So submitted does not mean college has the letter. That’s how I see it.
Does your college only require 1 recommendation? If that’s the case, they might have downloaded just 1.</p>
