<p>All the teachers I've asked for recs from really like me and genuinely see me as a good student. I'm certainly not worried about a bad rec in other words. The essays should be good-really good.</p>
<p>On the part of the apps where the teachers check how good a student is in various areas, does it look bad if they give you a lot of very good- top 5% answers rather than giving mostly top %1?</p>
<p>I can't help but feel that there are a lot of teachers out there who would just give inflated answers to avoid thought and help a student out (maybe to the extreme of just check marking all the top %1 boxes).
Do you think Adcoms will recognize the truthful nature of a mixed report? All my teachers are very honest people, meaning they aren't going to lie to make my app appear stronger. Thanks</p>
