<p>That's not true A.S.A.P., the rec will definitely help. It might not make you or break you, but it'll definitely help out.</p>
<p>yea i figured it wouldn't be a make or break thing, I just accepted his offer. And give it a rest Jobob, you don't know what the adcom is thinking and neither do I. I don't care how they percieve the use of my rec. the only thing I am saying by submitting it is "Hey this guy asked if he could write a rec. for me and if he is willing to put in the time and effort, Im accepting it". If my next door neighbor told me that he wanted to write a nice supplementary rec. for me, I'd take him up on the offer, I mean what can it hurt? You act like I went looking for some stranger to impress the adcom with. I don't know why you are so opinionated on the matter-- afraid of a little competition :) ?</p>
