<p>I was wondering how adcoms view letters of recommendation from VIP. If the VIP is a well known politician on the national level, does the letter serve as a significant boost for the applicant. This is assuming that the letter is well written and displays a personal relationship with the applicant. Any inside into such a letter's weight?</p>
<p>no difference nor boost if two letters are well-written. make sure the VIP knows you very well, not through your parents.</p>
