[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if Walls will (once again) change the amount of weight given to teacher recs. [/quote]

They follow a rubic. Why do you think they would change it now? There is a lot of weight given to teacher recs. That’s just the facts.[/quote]

Because they have before--without telling teachers. Maybe you would word your recommendation differently if you knew that it was going to be the deciding factor in a student's application. [/quote]

From my understanding, teacher recs is the deciding factor to getting an interview. Is it not? After meeting the GPA threshold, the teacher recs carry so much weight that it is absolutely the differentiator.[/quote]

The first time this was true (teacher recs as the threshold vs. a straight cutoff using the highest GPAs) was last year. IIRC, Walls didn't even ask for teacher recs as part of the process before last year. And then right out of the gate, they were the most important thing.[/quote]
