<p>I've been looking around the website and I haven't seen anything about teacher recs? Are they recquired for admission (plus the fellows program)?</p>
<p>Surprisingly, they are not required for admission. They are not required at the initial stage of the Fellows Application either. Honors Fellows applicants who are selected as finalists will have to submit one.</p>
<p>At the info session at Elon, the admissions counselor said that if you DO choose to send in a teacher rec, it MUST come with the application. If you apply online, then the teacher rec must come with the transcript and counselor evaluation form. They don't mind reading the rec, they just don't want to have to match them up with the files, I guess.</p>
<p>Hmm. Sounds like one of those "can't hurt" situations, but doesn't sound like it would help all that much either. FWIW, my son applied ED without sending a teacher rec, and never really thought twice about it. We'll see what happens in a few weeks.</p>
<p>Thanks. I don't think I'll bother, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something</p>
