1. Since my school’s counselor doesn’t know English, should I ask for a recommendation letter, translate it and then return it, so she will submit it??

2. Can I do the same with the official transcripts?

That’s what I did. It’s fine as long as your counselor is comfortable with the arrangement.



3. Can I send everything through the common app? (essays, TOEFL score…)

I believe everything can be sent online through Common App these days, except for test scores. You will have to request score reports directly from the testing agency.



4. Should I send my SAT scores before or after submitting the Common-App?

Either one is fine, as long as it’s within the same admission cycle. If you are applying for next fall, you can request score reports now even if you won’t submit your application for another 2 months.
