[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this deserves a separate thread or not, but my DC is not receiving responses to follow-up emails about their letter of recommendation from one teacher. This teacher agreed to write the rec last spring and teaches the subject that DC wants to major in at college. Being fully DL, it is impossible for DC to connect with the teacher through any means other than email. DC has contacted her counselor about this, but the teacher is still AWOL and Nov 1 is approaching.

Have any of your DCs experienced this?[/quote]

We are going through this as well.  Both teachers have been provided all the inputs they asked for and in one case DC got to review the recommendation with the teacher.  However, it has not been uploaded to Common App yet.  Not sure if they are coordinating with the school counselor.   [/quote]

Hopefully, the recommendations will be uploaded soon for your DC.

My DC's teacher is "ghosting" them and it is not clear if she will write the recommendation or not. DC has a backup plan, but it would sure be nice if the teacher returned my DC's email query. Nothing like compounding the stress for HS seniors.[/quote]

Kids are not supposed to see the rec. Colleges prefer that kids waive this ability, because it lends credibility to the letter.[/quote]
