i am applying to colleges tomorrow. i wanted to know in what order i should apply.
Should i sent my SAT scores first?
More importantly, should i sent my common application first or my recommendations and transcript etc from school first?
in the common app, there is a yellow dot next to the recommendations. does that mean i didn’t do them because my teachers already wrote their recommendations.
no body in my family has any experience with college application.
Generally high schools want or at least the high schools around here for you to submit your application before they’ll send the transcript. You have to send an invitation to your teacher from the common application. All my D’s recommendations were done through the Common Application. There maybe another way to submit recommendations but I am not familiar. She did submit applications prior to the recommendations being completed. However, everything must be completed by the college application deadline.
My teachers have submitted their recommendations. it did show that they finished it on Naviance. but it didnt show on the common app.
I would double check with your school and hopefully some one else on here from CC can chime in. The schools around here do not have Naviance so I can’t help you there.
It does not really matter. If items come in before your application, e.g. transcripts, recs, the college will just start a file and then add in your application once received.
oh okay. i was just confused because on common app it didn’t put a check next to my recommendations
On the Common App you would see ‘Submitted’ when the recs are done. Then, after you submit the Apps to the schools, it would show ‘Downloaded’ when they look at them. At least that is how I am reading it.
