You’ve gotten yourself in a bind. You really shouldn’t be gambling with any dishonesty on your college apps! So your options now seem to be: 1) Have the VPrin. submit through Common App, leave your fake one alone, and cross your fingers. 2) Own up to the VPrin, have him submit through Common App (if he still wants to recommend you after this), and find a way to delete your fake one. How did you submit it? I guess not many of us know what the process looks like as a (fake) recommender; can you go withdraw it?

Definitely apply to other colleges with the real one, and I don’t think Common App will check all of your LORs to different schools to see if the names match up with the email addresses. I can’t imagine they would. But you have to know, you might get caught somehow and it definitely could affect your admission, or result in consequences at your high school. DO NOT send any more fake ones.
