<p>Several of my teachers have asked me to ghostwrite several of my letters of recommendation to summer programs. Have any of you had to ghostwrite letters of recs? Any suggestions/do’s/dont’s?</p>
<p>Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>
<p>Say really nice things about yourself?</p>
<p>Seriously, the content of the letters should complement and re-enforce your essays and list of accomplishments, ideally with supporting examples.</p>
<p>Here’s a good guide:</p>

<p>Ghost writing is a tough assignment. Good luck to you</p>
<p>Many international applicants find that they have to do this. It really is more common than students think.</p>
<p>I had to do the same, so I put my interactions with the teachers in perspective. I imagined how they see me as a student, and as a person. They turned out pretty well. Why don’t you try this approach?</p>
