<p>For the recommendations, there is a box that says top few, top 10%, above average ect. For andover and exeter, what do you think would the criteria would be for the recommendations how many top few would you need checks for-an estimate please.</p>
<p>I don’t think that we can provide an answer. The recommendations are just one part of the whole candidate picture. Obviously, you don’t want to have the “below average” boxes checked, but I don’t think that there is any set cutoff.</p>
<p>Try to keep within the top two sets for both. They really do want a really good rec. Also a lot of difference can be made if the teacher writes with a great style and shows that he took his time.</p>
<p>It doesn’t really matter what the qualifications are, the teacher is gonna give you what they give you, theres no one thing you can do to get in the 10% or whatever</p>
<p>
Except be in the top 10% in that specific area :D.</p>
<p>lolz (10 char)</p>
<p>Well, I know I can’t do anything but it’s just nice to know.</p>
<p>When should I give my teacher my reccomendations???</p>
<p>October/November. They know you by then, you know them by then. You can gauge which ones will write a good one, and which ones won’t write a good one.</p>
