<p>Okay so I'm filling out the last things for two colleges on the common app. But then I noticed a section that says "School Forms - In Progress". I didn't even notice this before, and apparently I have to email my guidance counselor and teacher to request recs.
But the thing is, earlier last month I had already given them the forms since they don't do anything electronically. And, my guidance counselor had already mailed everything out.
So my question is - do I still "invite" them? If the deadline is today, then what if they don't accept it on time?</p>
<p>Well good for you that your peeps have sent the things…however…u should of been a little bright to have added them onto your SCHOOL FORM things b/c if those Colleges receive all of your stuff but theres no applicant that mentions those people! then ur screwed! I would say cross your fingers hope to god you get…which schools did you apply too?</p>
<p>angelsface - the good news is that you are not “screwed.” You will need to invite your teachers and counselor, then assign the correct teachers to each college before you can submit your Common Application. </p>
<p>Here’s the important part: because your counselor and teachers already mailed in all your forms you should <em>not</em> enter their email addresses when you invite them. Without the email address the Common App Online will know that they are offline and that will be reflected on your School Forms page in the Common App Online.</p>
<p>This is perfectly fine, and colleges will accept your paper forms. Just get them added and submit your application - don’t wait until the last minute to submit!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>ACTUALLY!–> some schools prefer the ONLINE supplement and some schools dont even accept the mailed in ones anymore…its 2012 not 1984…lets grow up America…yah</p>
<p>APPHS4, your comments on this thread are completely incorrect and quite unhelpful. All Common Application member colleges will indeed accept school forms from counselors and teachers via paper. And every college has the ability to handle paper forms that are received before the application materials.</p>
<p>Angelsface - just follow the instructions I provided and you will be fine!</p>
<p>alrite…well this message goes to Angelsface…if u dont get into the school (i wish you luck though wholeheartly) …just make sure u smack this message on MacGyver’s face…</p>
