<p>I shown it to my recommenders and they all said it was very helpful :)</p>

<p>Giving them the sheet isn’t really saying that you don’t trust them to be good writers, but it’s telling them what MIT looks for in their applicants. If you didn’t trust them, then you wouldn’t have ask them for a LOR in the first place.</p>

<p>^Agreed.</p>

<p>It’s actually good practice to get used to giving your letter writers any information available about what a particular school or scholarship is hoping to see in the letters, along with your resume or CV to remind the letter writer about your accomplishments and a list of deadlines and submission procedures for any letters you’re having them write. It’s absolutely not patronizing – your teachers are probably really busy writing letters this time of year. And you will definitely need to put this stuff together when you ask your professors in college to write letters for you for internships or graduate school.</p>
