<p>Do you first have to sumbit the common app then have the teacher mail their recs? I know teachers can submit the common app recs online but one of my teacher wants to mail them. If your teacher recs for the common app are mailed and your common app is submitted online how are they linked together and organized? And would it be a problem if my mailed common app recs reach the college before my app is completed?</p>

<p>When the college gets any piece of information from you, they open a file on you. Then they keep adding to the file until it’s complete. It would probably be a good idea to have your social security number, or some other identifier, on all your documents in case there is someone else with the same name.</p>
