<p>you can submit recommendations and such online if you use the common app (mandatory for yale and some other exclusive users of the commom app). All you have to do once you register for the common application is enter the teacher’s name and email adress in the common app and they will notify your teachers and ask them to write you a recommendation by giving them a way to access your application through another account. doing this will also allow you to track their progress and whether they have written a letter for you or not. hope that helps!</p>
