<p>When your teachers fill out the common app forms when u apply to other schools, do you commonly get all excellent, outstanding, etc. checks in the box the teacher fills out for you?</p>
<p>I understand that a good written rec in addition to the check boxes is important…</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>^^^Commonly, you get the top 10% or in some cases 5% but not above that i.e. outstanding, it is fairly rare.</p>
<p>Okay, and that would be considered “great”, or “good”?</p>
<p>(10%) –> It will always be GOOD!, but according to my perspective, the letter carries more weight than the ratings themselves.</p>
<p>However, 5% or above is GREAT! but letter carries more WEIGHT.</p>
