<p>I am not an expert in recommendation letters but my teacher’s letter is short and general. Though it says many positive traits and how he thinks I would succeed in the industry of graphic design (going in for advertising), it’s still a bit “general.” </p>
<p>It basically reads: She is a good student in school and exceptional in graphic classes, she has a very talented mind and artistic abilities, and has a deep understanding of the material we learn. She is professional in mannerism and has a very promising future in my chosen career path, if given the opportunities such as attending the school. She is a pleasant person to be around in general and would be a great addition to your school. blahblah, etc.</p>
<p>and on Dodge’s website it says:
“This letter of recommendation should be completed by a person who can discuss your creative strengths.”</p>
<p>So, would a basic/general LoR like this hurt me? If it does, should I even bother applying? I feel as though LoRs play a pretty decent role in admissions, especially when they only require one.</p>
