<p>Today, my former math teacher, who wrote me a recommendation, said that she received a letter of thanks from WashU for her recommendation. </p>
<p>Has anyone else heard of this? What kind of implication does this have for me, if any?</p>
<p>By the way, she said she had never received a letter of thanks before [neither has my dad, who is also a teacher and has written recommendations].</p>
<p>its funny that you bring this up because my teacher told me he got a thank you letter a couple of days ago. he said that he has never gotten one before. i dont think it has anything to do with us, but them just appreciating the efforts that the teachers take to get all of our stuff in on time.</p>
<p>hm… did it come through the mail? or email?</p>
<p>she didn’t specify</p>
<p>that is sooo random… has anyone else’s teacher gotten one?</p>
<p>Maybe it’s their way to show appreciation and encourage teachers to write letters. WUSTL only requires one letter (if I remember correctly), so if a teacher does not submit one on time, it hurts the students (assuming the letter would have been good ;-))</p>
<p>That’s a nice gesture of WashU’s part.</p>
<p>I applied for the Engineering Academic Fellowship and I asked my physics teacher to write me a recommendation.</p>
<p>He just got a thank you letter in the mail today. Crazy!</p>
