<p>After getting rejected EA from Stanford, I was preparing for my other applications, and I heard that recommendation letters, once written, will be constant for a particular teacher. In order to test this, I added two teachers to the School Forms area, and clicked save. Now, it shows the letters as being submitted, ostensibly without having sent an email to the teachers and giving them a chance to resubmit it. The problem here is that I think that one of them specifically mentioned "Stanford" in their letter, and obviously I'm no longer applying to Stanford. </p>
<p>Is there any way to change this? I've created another version of my CommonApp application, but it's not allowing me to add colleges or submit forms for colleges I had in my previous form. My other thought is sending letters through the post to these colleges as another alternative.</p>
<p>Once it says “submitted” next to your teachers name, I believe the school has it. The only way to make changes is to fax something over I believe. The best thing to do, is to get your teacher to call. Unfortunately, any letters submitted by teachers and counselors get submitted to every school, and cannot be changed. However, if the Teachers and Counselors decide to be “offline providers” and send it via paper, the letters can each mention the respective universities. </p>
<p>Bottom Line: get your teacher to call, I don’t know if I’d mention that it lists another school, I’d probably just say that a mistake was made, and here is the new letter</p>
<p>Since I haven’t submitted any other part of the application for the college I accidentally submitted the rec letters for, I simply removed the college in question from the “My Colleges” list. I think that removed the submitted letters, allowing me to resubmit them, as they aren’t shown as downloaded. Am I wrong?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, teacher and counselor letters/forms are like the application itself: once submitted, they cannot be unsubmitted or changed. This means that the letter submitted for the first college will be the letter that goes to all colleges. If a teacher needs to correct a letter, he or she must send a new copy by mail.</p>
