“yeah i went to the ASC site for Yale and they even mentioned that they know teachers can write crappy recs so they dont really hold it against the applicant.”

Oh, thank god. My English/French teacher gave me a copy of her rec after she sent it. She said great things about me but her writing was just plain AWFUL. Yes, I did say she was an English teacher.

"Most of the kids I work with who get in have their apps in by October and I have noticed a significant difference between the accept rates of those kids vs those who squeeze that app in on Jan 1. "

So applications are read in the order they are received? Also, might it also be that kids who send their applications in on the last day (a la me) do a more rushed job than the ones who sent theirs early?
