<p>My son was accepted to all 9 schools he applied to. His teacher never clicked “submit” on the common app recommendation form, so the recs never got to the schools. </p>
<p>Based on that, we seem to think the teacher recs must not carry a lot of weight. </p>
<p>However, we will still insist that our daughter take them seriously and treat them like they matter when she starts applying this fall. You just never know.</p>
