  1. Interesting anecdote here: My thesis advisor from college was very slow in submitting his LOR on my behalf. I submitted all my applications in early December and my other recommenders submitted their letters weeks ago, but I had to hound him until he finally submitted the letter on Monday (1/7). Barely 72 hours later I got addmitted to U chicago and UCLA (I'm still waiting to hear back from a number of other places), so I'm thinking these schools barely even looked at his letter. They were just waiting for him to submit it so my application would be complete. Although this all could have been a bit of a coincidence, it seems to me the importance of LORs might be overstated in this forum. Anyway, just my experience. Make of it what you will.
