Just wondering how many of you have access to your recommendations. I dont have access to my recommendations. So I am little nervous about what my recommenders have written.
thanks

I don't have access because I heard it looks better if you waive the right. However, I also read on the "Ask Chicago Adcom" thread on the bw forums that the adcoms don't care less either way. Plus, if I could read them, it would just give me one more think to worry about! RF

You should definitely waive your right to them. Adcoms will say they won't care, but it's sort of an unwritten rule...or at least I thought so.

No idea I did the same. I trust my recommenders on the execution part...we'll see how it plays out - I might be singing a different tune if I have 5 rejections at the end of January.

You can waive the right but still has access to your recommendations from your recommenders. Waiving the right just give them assurance that you can never get an access to recos after you are granted an admission. But if you are denied admission who cares about what your recommenders had written. So waiving the right does not guarantee that you have not seen your recommendations. For me, not waiving the right shows how curious I am to know what crap my recommenders have written...
