<p>I’ve heard that when a teacher calls you one of the best ever in their experiences, in terms of character traits or intelligence, the recommendation draws special attention from the adcoms reading it. Is there any measure of truth to that perception?</p>
<p>Well, if the teacher genuinely believes that you are one of his/her most brilliant-amazing-awesome-intelligent-best students ever, with supporting reasons, of course, then yes, this would probably draw some attention.</p>
