<p>Hello … I plan to apply to US colleges this year and i happen to have problem with letters of recommendation … I know even as an international student i should have them otherwise my whole plan would go up to smoke so i would be very thankful if someone could help me … First of all,would admission offices check and control the letters with professors and teachers who wrote them to check accuracy of letters ? would it be better if i ask professors in US universities who know me to write or my own teachers in high school ? and finally do people who would write letters have to be my teachers or if they just know me would be enough?</p>
<p>Even if you don’t apply to MIT, the information contained therein should be of great assistance to you. Print it out and give to your letter writers.</p>
<p>Go with those who know you best – not just some US person because they are American. Most colleges that require rec letters need them from people who have taught you. Or perhaps a school master if not enough teachers are available. Translations (if English isn’t native language) should accompany them.</p>
<p>Can they verify? Sure. People try to be fraudulent sometimes.</p>
