<p>...Somebody famous wrote a recomendation for you? I'm not talking about Britney Spears or anything, I'm thinking more along the lines of Gaston Caperton, the president of the College Board. He met my parents and offered to write one for me, but my mom seems to think this could backfire because he doesn't really know me?</p>
<p>has he ever even met you? If not, I would not do this....sounds strange....</p>
<p>What kind of recommendation could he write if he doesn't know you?
I'd go with a non-famous but familiar person.</p>
