<p>Isn’t mailing my recommendation until tomorrow.</p>
<p>Will Brown be po’d?</p>
<p>Maybe but it's not really your fault and there's not anything you can do about it.</p>
<p>As long as your part of the app is in by the deadline, teacher rec's can be a little late. Big Universities usually spend the first few weeks/first month sorting through the thousands of apps they get.</p>
<p>Same issue here... except my teacher might not mail mine until this weekend. Which is annoying because he's had almost two months to write it.</p>
<p>i had an interesting situation actually, i knew my AP american teacher pretty well, i asked for for a reccomendation before the summer of junior year, and shes like ok sure I'll mail it to you. No mail all summer. First week of school...no rec, second week i talk to her; in short she just kept putting it off, then 2 weeks before the EA/ED deadline she gives me her rec, i read it in my car before i leave and it is the worst piece of .... i ever read. But then i got 2 glowing rec's so its all good. And my AP bio teachers rec was horrible too, it made no sense.. what is it with AP teachers?!</p>
<p>That's funny... my AP US History teacher's rec was horrible too.</p>
<p>reading ur recs is rude and IGNORANT... these are supposed to be confidential (says so on the paper methinks)</p>
<p>uh i didn't read it</p>
<p>obviously, otherwise i woulda mailed it myself already</p>
<p>um. reading your recs is by no means rude or ignorant. if a teacher gives you a rec to read it's not like they're committing some kind of honor code violation. it's confidential in the sense that if the teacher didn't give it to you to read, you can't go asking the admissions office at brown or whatever to let you read it.</p>
<p>Yeah, a few of my teachers showed me what they wrote (I never asked, knowing that I'd signed the whole confidentiality thing). If the teacher voluntarily wants to show what they wrote, I don't think there's anything wrong with reading it.</p>
<p>my teachers handed me my rec's, not even in an envelope. Not something i was planning on but it was nice to read their kind words. It's not like I went against their wishes and opened them myself..and besides, had i not read some of my rec's i would be in deeeep trouble</p>
