<p>Okay, this has been sitting on my mind for a very, very long time. Like hella long.</p>
<p>I’m looking to apply for transfer for Fall 2014, but the only thing holding me back the single letter of recommendation I have to acquire in order to submit my app. At least, that’s what the Common Application says, right?</p>
<p>I asked an admissions representative on live-chat about a week ago about the recommendations requirement, and she said that yes, a recommendation is required for the application. That should be where the question ends.</p>
<p>But on the LSA site, [Undergraduate</a> Application | LSA Students | University of Michigan](<a href=“http://www.lsa.umich.edu/students/undergraduateapplication]Undergraduate”>http://www.lsa.umich.edu/students/undergraduateapplication), it does not say that an academic evaluator recommendation is required for transfers. This seems to align with everything everyone else has said in the past transfer threads.</p>
<p>Perhaps just trying to be hopeful, but is there anybody out there who can tell me fo’ sho’ if a recommendation is required for transfer or not? I would really appreciate it. And even if the recommendation was not required, how do we submit the Common Application without inviting a recommender? (I’m tearing my hair out because none of my professors have responded to my LOR requests, and I’m really cutting it close to the deadline.)</p>
