<p>Can my teachers mail in their Teacher Evaluations before I have submitted the common app?</p>
<p>I believe your teachers submit their evaluations and recommendations electronically, not via mail. So I believe they will be able to submit their evaluations before you submit the Common Application. </p>
<p>Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.</p>
<p>What to do if a teacher doesn’t respond electronically to the recommendation requests?</p>
<p>If they don’t respond, you will definitely want to talk to them in person about it. If they hesitate to write you a recommendation, you definitely don’t want them to be writing it. A half-hearted letter of recommendation definitely will not help you on your college application. Make sure the person is enthusiastic about writing you a recommendation because a good letter of recommendation will help you on your application. </p>
<p>Like I said, talk to your teacher about it. There may have been some technical issues such as a wrong email address. Also, the teacher may not be checking their email as much as they should be. But you won’t know until you talk to them about it.</p>
<p>Teacher Evaluations can arrive before OR after the application. The order does not matter, and neither does the delivery method: online or mail.</p>
