<p>:: Nasty autobotting pdffing server ! : ) Your workaround should work though! Cheers, K</p>
<p>Just wanted to thanks guys for the advice with the supplement and I applied on the 24th, hopefully I’ll get in (though I mistook Michigan as having a superscore policy so my SATs are actually 2240 not 2340 in that case). But still hoping I’ll get in :)</p>
<p>Wow sorry for all these questions but I have one more question lol. My counselor is new to my school (only has worked for like 2 months) and so she isn’t writing letters of recommendations unless it is to explain grade discrepancies due to something like family issues, illness, or etc, but she will fill out the counselor recommendation forms and stuff and make note of the fact why she didn’t write a letter of recommendation. I’m wondering, will this significantly hurt me cuz this is kinda out of my control (I’m still getting a very good teacher rec so I do have some rec for UM)? </p>
<p>I did ask the Admissions office but they aren’t going to reply till after Jan 4 and I thought I might get some opinions to see if I could try something idk.</p>
<p>New or not, she should be doing her job. U of M, like many schools, requires at least one counselor recommendation. Your application will be thrown out/incomplete without it.</p>
<p>I doubt that… There’s nothing he can do about it, and there would be mass complaints against her if they were going to throw out all those applications.</p>
<p>Counselors write 250 letters a year, mostly for students they’ve never met before. Colleges know this, and put almost no consideration into them. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Well I mean she will give me the recommendation but there’s a part saying in the form where you can add a letter of rec or if u dont do that you can add bullets, and so she’s going to just do bullets for me. Idk though if it would look bad if I don’t get a letter of rec from her.</p>
<p>Really? The application form wouldn’t even submit itself for me until my counselor was registered.</p>
<p>I submitted my application a on the 24th without registering any of my recommenders (cuz they are mailing them in though I still have the option of registering them so I might just anyways but my app nonetheless is submitted).</p>
<p>Ahh. Well then I doubt they’ll care. :P</p>
<p>“Really? The application form wouldn’t even submit itself for me until my counselor was registered.”</p>
<p>I took what he said to mean that the counselor was submitting a blank paper as the recommendation.</p>
<p>
Ohh, I didn’t even know they did that. Though if that’s the case, I don’t see how much trouble it would be for her to write some super-general letter for all her students.</p>
<p>Well I emailed her again and asked again if she could just write me one. Hopefully she will though its just going to delay my app >.> This blows.</p>
