<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>How much do you think having a letter of rec. from a professor at the big H helps?</p>
<p>Good luck everyone and thanks,</p>

<p>A letter of rec from a Yale professor helps more.</p>
<p>yeah, and MIT too; Harvard will love one of those</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>jokes aside -- the rec letter can't hurt, but i don't think it'll greatly affect your admission decision.. it's probably a small tip at best, but hey, it's something positive for you</p>
<p>I'd say it all depends on how well the professor knows you. If you have a strong relationship and the professor is highly impressed with you, I'd think it would help a great deal!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, I'll be sure to try and get a letter from a prof at every rival school of harvard, it should help haha</p>
<p>MIT is not a rival school. Harvard and MIT work together very nicely. Princeton and Yale are rival schools, though :P</p>
