Will recommendations be carried over from Junior year?
Answered

I accidentally asked my ex-employer to write me a letter of recommendation back in April and she did, and it’s in the common app now. Will it be deleted in the upcoming cycle? I’m a rising senior.

I didn’t know at the time that the application window for college started on August 1st.

According to the Common App website, you have to refresh your recommendation when it rolls over. They will not carry over automatically.

Some sections of the CommonApp roll over, but I don't believe that recommendation letters are included. You'll likely need to add them in again. In any case, you'll want to check on this when CommonApp goes live in August!
