<p>My Chinese teacher doesn't know how to write a rec! She's a new teacher and still young, but I excel in her class and establish a wonderful relationship with her. She said she would gladly write a rec for her best student. </p>
<p>Do top colleges prefer short, concise recs to long, full-of-examples ones? I always thought a rec should be at least 3 paragraphs long (if not more), but if you can prove the same point with just several sentences (like 'best student in years, amazing and huge potential, a very interesting student to teach, etc), then what? </p>
<p>If you have read your teacher's rec and think it's amazing, would you PM me? I wouldn't copy it, honestly.</p>
