<p>I’m kind of confused–i invited 3 of my teachers and they show up immediately…but you can’t tell if they actually accepted the invite? I asked them prior to sending the invite, of course, but how can you tell if they have recieved it/accepted it?
and can you tell whether they’ve started it? or does the status remain “not started” until they actually submit it??</p>
<p>When they’ve actually started working on it, the status changes from “not started.” I don’t think you can tell if they’ve received it if they haven’t started it. They don’t have to actually submit it for the status to change. (I don’t exactly remember what it said, though.) And I believe that once they submit it, the status changes again. I would talk to the teachers just to make sure they actually received it, especially if it doesn’t seem like they’re working on it. Hope I didn’t make that too confusing. xD</p>
<p>Can I get someone else to confirm so I’m not giving out false info? (:</p>
<p>Spazzy is right. The status will change to ‘started’ when they’ve started, and then to ‘submitted’ and then to ‘downloaded’, assuming they submit the rec electronically. If they mail it, the status will not change. Be sure that you add the teachers you want to invited to recommend for each school you are applying to (go to the school forms section for each school).</p>
