I was wondering how adcoms view letters of recommendation from VIP. If the VIP is a well known politician on the national level, does the letter serve as a significant boost for the applicant. This is assuming that the letter is well written and displays a personal relationship with the applicant. Any inside into such a letter’s weight?
