Andover Alum Rec?

Hi everyone!

This year, I’m applying to Andover (and a lot of other schools). I ended up getting my personal rec from an Andover alum. It’s actually a funny story; he owns a test prep business in my town, and I went to him for help on the SSAT. Also, his daughter is really good friends with my daughter. I ended up asking him for a personal recommendation, which he happily agreed to. How much do you think this will help my chances? He definitely wrote a good rec, and he knows me semi-well. If you want any other info to get a more well-rounded view of my application, just check out my other threads!

Thanks so much!

No more and no less than a similarly-written rec from a non-alum.

Wait a minute… “Also, his daughter is really good friends with my daughter.” You’re applying to high school, right? :-/

I know I was super confused too!!
