<p>Ummm… have you actaully looked at USC’s recommendation form?</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/0910/Form4.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/0910/Form4.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>They want only one rec. And this rec should discuss your academic potential and achievement. Do you think your “connection” is the best one to discuss this? Really? Most people find “name dropping” to be rather odious. Don’t do it.</p>
