All the schools we asked said that they would take the common recommendation forms. Also they take letters mailed or emailed. The questions in Gateway, SSAT, and Choate recommendation letters are the same. So the teachers can complete one form, print it out, or save it in a PDF file and mail/email to the rest of the schools.

Thus, you could pay fees for only the schools DC is certain to apply and trigger the process. For the other schools you can ask teachers send the copy of letters after the interview.

For Gateway app, you can’t fill in essays until the fee is paid. However, you can view the essay prompts so DC can start working on them now and then fill in and complete the applications after the interviews.
