Should I get a teacher to write a letter of recommendation for me for U of Washington

<p>some people say i don't, and some say do it anyways</p>

<p>do you think i should?</p>

<p>do they look at it?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>university of washington doesnt require (or recommend) recommendation letters. i dont know if they look at them, even if you do send them. i went to an information session at my school, and they said they didnt like extra stuff sent in, unless it was really important, because they get so many applications that they already have a lot of stuff to read. so i am pretty sure that it wouldnt really help you. but maybe email them and ask, just to be sure.</p>

<p>Are you applying to the Honors program? If not, there is no need to get one.</p>

<p>Only if you're applying for the Honors program.</p>

<p>im applying to uwash too. they dont encourage recommendations(save for the honors program) so that translates to.. we're going to throw it away if you send us one. dont send colleges any unneeded information because they will undoubtedly ignore it.</p>
