Good Adjectives or Phrases on Recommendations?

Applying to College
1

<p>So,
My teachers have a packet that I have to fill out, and there they ask what 3 adjectives or phrases you'd like to see in the recommendation letter describing yourself.</p>

<p>Yet, I can't seem to think of anything that colleges would find sticking out through the recommendation, so what do you guys think would be good adjectives or phrases that would help any college applicant.</p>

<p>This thread could be used for anyone who has a similar teacher recommendation form ^^</p>

<p>Obviously most people would want to sound unique, diverse, and hard working, but I'm sure there would be other adjectives and better eloquently written phrases explaining that.</p>

<p>I have a similar packet to fill out. It should be more about what you write to explain each word choice. For instance, you can stick to the generic "dedicated," "hard-working," "considerate," but you have to have to be able to reflect on how your actions in the class showed your dedication, work ethic, etc.</p>

<p>example of a concise explanation: [adjective] - when [friend] didn't understand how to do derivatives, I went to a library with him afterschool the day before the test and spent two hours tutoring and practicing with him. in the end, we both got A's on the test.</p>

Good idea.</p>

<p>But besides what characterizes you, are there any key phrases that adcoms like to see in recommendations, like "top 1% I have ever taught" or "has been gifted by the gods!" ?</p>
