[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has submitted for ED and has asked his research mentor to provide recommendation. On the Common app - other recommender section it says he has not started yet. Since the ED submission is already done, will common app send the recommendation to the school when the mentor submits the recommendation or will it have to be sent directly to the ED school now?[/quote]
Whenever the mentor submits it, the school/system should be able to match it to your son’s application file. Many schools have a grace period or later deadline for the extra pieces (LORs, etc) than for the student’s common app submission so even if the ED date is today (11/1), the mentor’s letter may not be late. And if the ED date is 11/15 there’s no problem at all.

But if the ED date is 11/1, your son could reach out on Monday to the AO to explain the situation and confirm whether there is an issue with the “other recommender” letter arriving later, and then follow up with his mentor to confirm the deadline or change in submission process or anything else, if needed.
