<p>Firstly let me apologize. I don’t know where else to post this since it would generally apply to many different subforums (“internships”, “grad school”, “MBA” etc.).
I hope the moderators will be able to move it appropriately.</p>
<p>I wanted to ask whether, in general, the reference letters written by your head teachers at secondary school are still “valid” and/or “valuable” if you want to apply to…
a) internships during college
b) internships after college
c) jobs
d) grad school, MBA, etc.</p>
<p>Currently, I’m in my penultimate year at college and unfortunately those reference letters are the only “testimonials” of my engagement and whatever good things I achieved in life… I’m saying this because after college started I had a little accident with long term effects to my health (that are lasting even to the present) that somehow also influenced my academic performance and in general, kept me from doing many extracurricular activities which I would have done otherwise.
I still do a few things but not with that spark that I used to have before…
Also, I rarely had the opportunity to communicate well with my college professors and although some of them know me personally and always talk to me… it just isn’t as good as it once used to be :)</p>
<p>I wanted to ask you what you think about this and would appreciate any advice.</p>
<p>:)</p>
