<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I have some questions regarding what factors make a good LOR.
Today, I went to one of my professors and asked to write me a LOR and she said that her policy for LOR is that a student must submit a recommendation to professor and she will change some parts and put other important information. </p>
<p>So, what is the most important factor for good LOR. If you are an admission officer, what do you look for in LOR??</p>
<p>i would include specific memories in the class when you contributed to the discussion in a unique way. if a professor shows that she really knows you and describes things about you now shown by your ec’s and essays/gpa then that is very good.</p>
<p>First of all, I would argue that her policy of students writing their own recommendations and sending them in for editing is a bad and immoral one. I would feel extremely uncomfortable writing about myself in the third person. </p>
<p>Putting that aside…</p>
<p>You can write about how you contributed to the class, your special qualities, anything that makes you stand out.</p>
