And, I hate to say it, but I'm sure there are cases where someone says she will write a rec, but then doesn't, and the PNM doesn't even know that the woman did not follow through.
A colleague told me that her daughter applied for a selective, university-based math camp this summer. When she didn't hear back from them on the admission notification date, she called. It turns out that the HS teacher who agreed to complete the required teacher rec. form never sent it in, so her application was incomplete. That would really frost my cake! She was planning to ask her to write one of her college admissions recommendations letters...I said, ask someone else.
