Applying to College

<p>What are the key elements of a super-brilliant recommendation?</p>

<p>(1)…from teachers</p>

<p>(2)…and also from businessmen, politicians, and other figures at the top of their game.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>That they know more than your name/your grades. A good rec will let the readers learn someone else’s perspective of you in a different light, not just that you’re a “good student who works hard” blahblah.</p>
