Friends, I dont want to waste time your time by posting a question thats already answered. So I searched the forum thoroughly but cudnt get my answers, here are my questions :-
1) I am working for the second largest software company in the world for 27 months as a software engineer. I am expecting a promotion but not in the very near future. So If i am going to apply for fall 2009, I may still be as a software engineer only, whereas if I apply for spring 2009, I may be senior software engineer by that time. So my questions is :-
a) My understanding is that designation may be of some value for me in both admission and during the placement time? Am i right or is there any flaw in this ?
b) Which do you ppl think is better for me fall 2009 or spring 2009?
2) How long is the recommendation letters valid?
Say I have a reco letter from head of department, which is now two years old and another reco letter from my senior colleague which also got old by a year. DO aging letters diminish its value or should I ask them for a new reco with latest dates? (getting this is quite tough for me now)
Thanks Thanks Thanks in advance

1a) Promotions are such a minor part of the admissions process. I don't think it should have any affect on when you apply.
2) Why wouldn't you get up-to-date recommendations? How would 1-/2-year old recommendations help your candidacy today? If anything, it would tell the adcom that you have no idea what they're looking for...

You can not use two-year old recommendations...you need to get current ones, and for some schools, you'll need to get the recs customized to their apps. They want to hear how great you are when you apply, not a few years earlier.
Not too many schools have spring intakes, and for those that do, financial aid isn't as available as it is in the fall. So I would apply for a fall intake.
