evals?

When doing my first letter of red I put my prof. for a evil. she did it too. But my other prof. I just left it. I heard since they're a new thing is it even worth assigning it to schools? I did it to "increase my chances" but I think someone on here said they're annoying to the admissions office. I think it was pacifico lol not sure. Should I just delete the eval? Thanks for your inputs!

Not too sure myself. I was informed that only a few schools look at them. I researched whether to submit evaluation requests, and a few days worth of looking around the interwebz yielded a simple "don't bother."
I don't think requesting an evaluation would hurt your chances of getting into the school of your choice. Worst case scenario, research your school and find out whether they want an eval or not.

Evals are a joke. Don't waste their time. They add nothing of value to your application and are pretty redundant if you get them from your recommenders.

I wouldn't do them unless they were required. One of my apps requires them sadly

Agree with Pacifico at the Law School forum, I asked a number of schools and they said they preferred letters or evals.
