<p>^ I’ve got a teacher like that, but it doesn’t worry me too much (knock on wood) because I think the Yale adcoms know there are teachers like that. I have a sneaking suspicion they evaluate what kind of student you are using your GPA (not specifically for any classes), and a comparison to the teacher recs. So, if your Chem/English teacher both say “Yeah, ____is in the top 1% of my career”, and give you many other healthy marks, Yale will know it’s unlikely a dedicated and committed student just drops all of their study habits at the math classroom door.</p>
