<p>Hey guys</p>

<p>I’m in college already but asking for a friend in high school.</p>

<p>Which rolling admissions schools require teacher’s rec?
i know U Mich and UIUC does, are there any more?
Dont give me princeton review’s list, b/c it lists “rolling admissions shcools”, but most rolling schools dont require teachers rec.</p>

<p>thanks if anyone could answer; it’ll help my friend tremendously.</p>

<p>I think most of the more “prestigious” RA schools do…or they at least strongly recommend them.</p>

<p>RA = regular action?</p>

<p>I wanted to know any “rolling schools” that do…</p>

<p>I meant RA = rolling admission. </p>

<p>The thing is, it’s hard to comply a list of schools that require recommendations, because while most schools don’t require them, some still strongly recommend them. And there isn’t really a list for that. </p>

<p>It might be easier to specify what your friend wants - is he looking to apply to schools that will place a strong emphasis on recommendations, schools that look at them as a small factor, or schools that just flat out don’t want recommendations?</p>

<p>schools that will place a strong emphasis on recommendations</p>

<p>he has some unusual circumstances that will greatly benefit from recs</p>

<p>Aside from Illinois and Michigan, the only rolling admission schools I’ve found that consider recommendations to be really important are: U Tampa, Saint Olaf, Marymount Manhattan, Eckerd, Loyola Chicago, Hollins, and Salve Regina.</p>

<p>Of the other rolling schools, they’re “considered” at half, “not considered” at the other half…and the trend seems to be that the larger schools are typically less likely to consider them.</p>
