<p>I already sent my guidance counselor recommendation via mail, because our school cannot do it online. However, the common app says I can't submit it until I've finished my school forms by choosing a guidance counselor- does that mean that there is now no way I can submit it online? If so, I can't send any of my applications in by the deadline.</p>
<p>Keep trying. Have you tried entering your guidance counselor’s name? They should already be there. You can also try to call Common App directly. It may be a holiday and night time but it is also a big deadline so they may have staff on. There has to be a work around but I expect you are just missing a step or getting something wrong. Good luck.</p>
<p>If you can, just add your guidance counselor and move on. There’s no requirement that the guidance counselor do anything with the request to file online.</p>
<p>Oh my goodness, thank you. I panicked and didn’t even think of it, but putting my guidance counselor’s name in worked.</p>
