<p>Yale was one that I did not contact. I assumed I would get the same result that I got at other Colleges. I will check on Monday for you. Most schools only see that as a negative if your stats do not match your recommendations. If you have a kid with an amazing recommendation and amazing statistics in that subject, it will be no problem at all. It is unfair to assume that a kid is influencing a teacher that much. I have seen the FERPA rights issue so many times. I am certain colleges know by now that students with great applications sometimes waive their rights on accident and they will not be affected by that. I will post back when I know for sure.</p>
