Reference Letter

Recommended Posts

So I have two solid reference letters, one from a professor and one from my boss. For the third, I could use a volunteer coordinator but I honestly that a letter from a former (adult) tutee would be stronger since I've been working personally with him for a year whereas the volunteer coordinator I just wave hi to and exchange a few words every so often.

Use the tutoring one then... as far as I understand... it's not about who writes your letter as long as the letter is great.

Honestly I find the no friends rule rather awkward. Seeing as anyone you will have had a connection with ie is able to write you a good letter I would consider a friend.

 

On another note I see the LOR as kind of useless as honestly, would anyone ever get someone who would write them a bad LOR?

Agreed. I don't think the reference letters are such a great part of the whole assessment scheme. Also, we are allows to get reference letters from tutees?? I didn't know that

There is a difference between a good letter, and an amazing letter. The latter is obviously much harder to get, but I think that it means a lot.
