[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, quite a few admissions offices told us that they don’t look at recommendation letters anymore.[/quote]

Yah, I seriously doubt this.  Name one please.

Recommendations letters from known entities with FERPA waived is the strongest non-statistical asset for the unhooked.[/quote]

What do you mean by a "known entity"?  Teachers?  Counselors?[/quote]

No it means a big donor, a board member, a [b]member of congress[/b] etc [/quote]

FYI, not saying it never happens, but I have worked for multiple members of Congress and Senators, and none of them wrote recommendation letters for things like this. It’s just impossible — if they do one, they’d have to do an almost unlimited number. [/quote]

Ah they do it if you have a connection (intern etc) [/quote]

The members I worked for did not (I hired an oversaw lots of interns).  You can list your internship, which makes the connection clear, but no recommendation letter. Some may do it, but it’s not common.  [/quote]
