<p>who do you get them from? i mean in the activities i’m most involved in and that have the people that know me well are student run. should i get it from a dean? a TA? but i have a feeling those wouldn’t be that good.</p>
<p>Please focus your question.</p>
<p>What is the recommendation for?</p>
<p>Go with the people that know you best. I don’t know if you can have a recommendation from a student but if a TA knows you better than the Dean, go with the TA. It’s useless to have a recommendation from someone who may be high up on the totem pole yet does not know you.</p>
<p>well i’m just asking a general question. not really a particular thing, i’m just wondering. say, you needed recommendations for an internship at a museum. who would you go to for that?</p>
<p>If they are generally expecting college students, then ask professors that know you well and have a favorable impression. If it is a general job, then you might consider a professor and a recommendation from a previous employer.</p>
