Online Teacher Recomandation Question. a little urgent :)

Hi, this is a quick question....

If I submit my application to a school, before a teacher has submitted their recommendation onto common app, will the recommendation be sent automatically to the school after they do submit it (this assuming that i have added them under the school i wish their rec to be send in the 'School Forms' category).

Basically, do i have to wait for an 'online provider' teacher to submit their rec before i can submit my application?

Thanks a lot!!!!!!

I found this on the common app help section.
___________
I want to submit my application before all school forms or recommendations have been submitted.

You are allowed to submit your online application before all your teachers or guidance counselors submit their school forms no matter whether they choose to do so online or on paper. The Common App system allows school forms to be submitted even after the application has been submitted.

Before you submit your application, please follow up with your teachers and counselors to ensure they will be able to complete and submit a school form or recommendation prior to the school's stated application deadline. You will not be able to make changes to the teacher/counselor list after you submit your application with the exception of resending the notification to your teacher or counselor.
________________

Still, can anyone can clarify if I have to do anything manually, concerning the submission the online recommendation my teacher will eventually submit.

thanks

No, you don't need to wait until your teachers submit their part of the application for you to submit yours. For one thing, the common application itself, which is the part you're submitting, is listed under a different category as school forms, which is what your conselor and teachers will submit on your behalf. The excerpt from the common app help section explains it very well.

Can a teacher submit a rec after the midnight deadline for early admission if the application has already been submitted?

@Sayaret: yes. The deadline is for students only. Your teachers should hurry up though.

I actually called one of my schools and asked about this. You can submit before your teachers do.
