<p>Hey, it?s everyone's favorite alias. I need some advise. I am working on an appeal and I'm attaching some recommendations(5 to be precise). I'm not sure whether or not to throw away one. My calculus teacher is a nice person but he is honest to the point where he mentions some things that probably wouldn't normally be needed. It?s not too bad and in the regular admissions I would definitely include it but appeals allow much less margin of error. He mentions stuff like reserved, small close group of friends, eclectic persona(this can be viewed as good or bad), social skills are not his strong point, doesn?t ask questions(I?m good at math and don?t have many), and a muscle deficiency(its not a big factor but my mother likes to exaggerate it when talking to my teachers) that makes my handwriting and appearance a little messy. Besides that its a excellent letter and it actually supports some things that I said in my appeal.</p>
<p>Anyone? bump</p>
<p>I'll bump this up for you because I know someone must have an opinion on this and if its a UC rec you're running out of time to decide. I'm not sure what you should do.</p>
<p>Throw it out. No baby in this bathwater.</p>
<p>There really isnt a point unless its a UC which you can actually appeal too.</p>
<p>I have to say, I've never heard of anyone writing something like that on a recommendation. Usually, they write all positive stuff. </p>
<p>I wouldn't use it. Use your other positive ones. I don't even know why that stuff matters, "reserved, social skills not his strong point" Jeeeeez... did you make him angry? If any of it is partially true... don't worry because college will change all that!</p>
<p>It's a reccomendation, not an evaluation. The school's college counselor needs to talk to that guy, lol</p>
<p>Into the circular file!</p>
