Recommendations.

<p>Are recommendations useful? I am majoring in architecture and minoring in mathematics. I can easily get one from my math teacher. I have really average stats (gpa/rank/sat). Will it help significantly? UIUC is my TOP and ONLY choice! So a rejection WOULD kill me.</p>

<p>When they came to talk to our school, they said they don’t want any recommendations.</p>

<p>From UIUC’s site:</p>

<p>"Are letters of recommendation required?</p>

<pre><code>* Letters of recommendation are not required and are not used in the evaluation process."
