[quote=Anonymous]OP: what's hard for many of us who have been through the process to understand is why you/your child are so set on wanting a recommendation from this one teacher who, based on your description, is making an already stressful situation more stressful. Why deal with someone who, as you describe it, has seen up an unreasonable process, especially since it sounds like your child is already blessed with two other teachers willing to recommend them? There is no teacher who provides the magic bullet for an application. And, bluntly, your child potentially holding a spot with another teacher who she might not use in the end, might, depending on that teacher's policies and whether they write their letters over the summer, be unfair to the teacher, if they are spending their time writing the letter over the summer, or other students if the teacher limits the numbers they recommend. My child asked two teachers for letters their junior year. One said no, because they didn't feel they knew her work well enough. They moved on and requested another one. Ended up at a T15 school. There is no indispensable recommendation.[/quote]
