Do teachers know which schools I'm applying to?

to clarify: If I have them submit the rec forms online for my colleges by november, BUT add one more college to the common app on, say, December 29th, then my two teachers would have to quickly log back onto commonapp.org, and submit forms for that school (even if it is copy/paste)? I just want to know how “tied-down” I am…



Wow, good thing I checked on this, because I was wrong and you were right about the assigning of extra recommendations.

MUST I SUBMIT THE SAME FORMS MULTIPLE TIMES FOR EACH STUDENT FOR ALL HIS/HER DIFFERENT COLLEGES?

No. Once you have submitted a form for a student, you never have to submit it again. It’s immediately available for download by any Common Application member institution to which the student has applied. And as the student applies to more colleges in the future, it then becomes available to those colleges as well. Note: the Naviance system functions differently. Please contact Naviance support for details.



So while your teachers still needed to be invited online for each of your colleges, and will still have access to the list of all the colleges you invite them to, this is done automatically after they submit the first time, rather than needing them to submit a new recommendation each time you add them to a new college.
