An admissions rep just contacted me for my area and said they are missing my teacher rec. I now realize they do, but on the common app it says 0 teacher recommendations required… How did this happen?
I noticed that too. UMass Amherst does require letters of rec?
I was looking into it recently (considered UMass Amherst for a little bit) and their website said that while they don’t require teacher rec’s, they reserve the right to contact you and ask for them. It was a bit weird in my opinion, but hey I guess that’s just how they roll haha
@rjoyn99 Yea i guess so because someone emailed me saying it was missing from my file, but maybe @Marg532 above is right and I just had too low of stats to not have one and I was borderline or something.
Anyways, I never submitted it because I never got one from one of my teachers. No big deal, I have other options
