Nothing to be worried about?

Applying to College
1

<p>So I got a recommendation from a physics teacher who really likes me, and she was my favorite teacher too. She thinks I am brilliant, hardworking, charismatic, etc. The goods right?</p>

<p>Well I had a slight hitch earlier this year. I took AP Physics as a junior instead of as a senior so I still have a lot of the labs and I let someone taking it now take a look at it as guidance. Well it ended up spreading a little bit and she found out. She was a little irritated at me for a bit, but since then it has all been good. I didn’t get into any official trouble at all and only she and students know about it really.</p>

<p>She revealed to the class (my friends told me about this) about some stuff while writing her rec. She said that my cover letter/college essay were really helpful, she spent a lot of time talking about how I was brilliant. But she also said that while she was filling out the ratings, she gave me top 1% for everything until integrity, when she said she “put it down a notch to Outstanding” and then continued to put everything else to top 1%.</p>

<p>Is this anything to be worried about in terms of how adcoms look at my application? Because it would look pretty weird if everything else was “One of the few I have encountered” and then integrity is taken down a notch.</p>

<p>You disappointed her by your lapse in judgment. More importantly, why is she discussing the content of your LOR with other students?</p>

<p>Idk why she was discussing it. She is pretty free in terms of what she does as a teacher (she is from Russia).</p>

<p>Yes I did disappoint her for that action, but is that one slight notch down a problem?</p>

<p>There’s nothing that you can do about it now anyway, so chalk it up to experience and move on. Worrying about it won’t help you.</p>
