If I apply to 8 schools (Stanford, Duke, Penn, Michigan, etc.), will I need to ask for a recommendation letter from a teacher for each university or do you ask for a letter of recommendation and then send that to all of the universities? Thank You!

probably not, common app does that for you

You ask for a letter from each teacher.

Then either:

A) you invite the teachers to submit recommendations online via the Common App. When the teachers have done their recommendations, you select which colleges or universities you send them to, or

B) you give each teacher copy of the teacher recommendation form from the Common App (with your portion at the top already completed), and a stamped envelope, addressed to the admissions office at each college or university that you want that teacher's letter to go to. (For the return address, you put your teacher's name, and the address of your school.) The teacher will make an appropriate number of copies of his or her recommendation letter, and sent them to the colleges.
