Do teachers know which schools I'm applying to?

is it based on which colleges I have been added to “my colleges”, or based on which colleges I have matched those teachers with under “school forms”?



The latter – teachers only see the one’s you’ve invited them to write a recommendation for.



what if I wait until the recommendation is completed, and then add my colleges? will they be notified of every college that i match their rec with, after their form is submitted to my account?



Not sure how this will work. The forms aren’t being “submitted to your account;” the teachers submit them to the colleges themselves through the Common App using their own account. Since they need to be invited by you to submit for specific colleges, they can’t complete their recommendation online without being the invitation to write a recommendation. And once you invite a teacher to write a recommendation for you for a certain college, the teacher will know what college that is.
