| Colleges and universities want to know what other people think of you, and you are fortunately able to choose exactly who you want to write something about you. It’s important to choose a group of people that know you well enough to write about you extensively, and also to choose a group of people that will be responsible enough to get your letter completed on time.
There’s nothing worse than asking someone to write you a letter of recommendation only to find that they have not submitted anything on your behalf when the deadline approaches. For that reason, asking for more recommendations than are required may be the route to go, because people often get busy or even forget to write the letter. |
