<p>I have contacted many schools. Most notably, Harvard and Stanford said that the student is at absolutely no disadvantage. Every schools I have contacted told me the same thing. I did not waive my rights. I did not do this on purpose though. I did not waive my rights so I could do some research about the pros and cons, expecting to change it if I needed to, but Guidance Counselor submitted his recommendation before I had the chance to change it. I wanted to waive them to make it easier on my teachers. </p>
