<p>HA!!! My 2 teachers and one counselor were sponors from clubs that I devoted my heart to! One the emphasizes my "hispanic activist, cultural unity" light and the other the ME as the reason why there is a thriving tutoring program in our community! The last teacher is a lit teacher and has known me for 3 years. Her letter was awesome and is so gracefully written. I AM SO GONNA BENEFIT FROM THESE LETTERS.....soooo happy!! Now...if only the same luck arose from tests......:(</p>
<p>Um, if your counselor wrote you a lovely, sweet letter, but nothing earth-shattering, but you got the highest marks in everything, will it hurt?</p>
<p>My other letters should be better, but I saw my counselor rec and I love my counselor tons, but the writing just isn't that great.</p>
<p>I think they will think that she GENEROUSLY gives praise to ALL students that she writes to. My counselor wrote a EARTH OBLITERATING LETTTER and rank me the top of her career on most of the boxes yet outstanding and excellent on others. They will think that she is stingy with her praise....which in my case is a GOOD THING!</p>
<p>well you certainly are generous too... with the caps lock key.</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>i always feel like someone is yelling at my when they type in caps. which basically means i think you're yelling at me all the time. :)</p>
<p>hehe...sorry...CAN YOU HERE ME NOW?! :) </p>
<p>I am a very expressive person....show in app</p>
<p>my guidance couseler's letter was hilarious he opened it in all caps saying something along the line of THIS IS MY BEST STUDENT EVER I CANNOT RECOMMEND ANYONE IN HIGHER ESTEEM TO ENTER YOUR SCHOOL NEXT FALL, sadly I believe he did the same thing for my best friend who also applied EA and looks exactly like me on paper but with slightly higher grades. Actually I think the guy might be stalking me at this point, he finds me everywhere to talk to me about harvard- he got me from lunch yesterday. Maybe the nice letter is really just a little creepy.</p>
<p>Hah infectedmushroom, your counselor is funny. I'd have thought it nice to have a counselor write things up for you. If I found myself in the same situation I'd drop fainting or something; it's like disillusion:D
Okay, come back to the main question. Don't know if boxes count that much, but if they do then I'll be dead any day of the week. You know what, English is all I've ever cared about, but my English teacher kept checking "top 10%" all over the boxes with a couple of "top 5%"s for a change. No "top few" whatsoever. Like she didn't know how other teachers usually checked boxes. It's just that int'l teachers are unfamiliar with this kind of stuff. Well, the other teacher didn't even use the "Teacher Evaluation" form. Say, how much does this hurt? Seeing that Linguistics will be my life and the E. teacher rec counts so much.</p>
<p>hey guys, i don't know if this happened to you. I sent in my common/supplement and they were received on Oct 31. My teachers and counselors sent in the forms before I did, but on the website, it says that my recommendations are not received. Does it mean that all the letters are lost? or harv hasn't processed them yet? ick, i'm worried.</p>
<p>I'm getting kind of worried as well. I sent in my application a week and 4 days ago, but still have got no reply. Is this normal?</p>
