<p>Hey everyone!
My name is Nadine, and I was wondering if UIUC offered a teacher recommendation option to undergraduates...If there is, can you tell me where to find it?
Thanks!</p>
<p>anyone know?</p>
<p>I believe they don't require recommendations.</p>
<p>If you send them recommendations, they will throw them in the trash. That is literally what an admissions officer told me.</p>
<p>oh, haha thanks! but goshdarnit xP
i got all these letters and now i can't use them...</p>
<hr>
<p>oh and does anyone know if they 'like' IB?
by 'like' i mean, will they favor those students that apply? (like me?) haha</p>
<p>Are more and more colleges not looking at Recs? </p>
<p>It makes sense, kinda, because any decent student can find a teacher that can praise that student.</p>
<p>It is not that more and more colleges are not looking at recs. UIUC simply has not done so for decades. That is true of public universities generally.</p>
<p>As to the IB question: UIUC considers courses taken and difficulty as an important factor in admission and IB courses are thus a favorable factor (as are AP and honors courses). UIUC does give credit for IB courses after you are admitted, see U</a> of I Admissions: International Baccalaureate</p>
