<p>hey. i'm an international from an eastern european country. do you think it would be a hook if the president of the country wrote a recommendation letter for me? cos he said he'd do it and i'm just curious if it may have any good effects especially on the ivy league admissions.</p>
<p>Well it'd impress me...</p>
<p>What country is that?</p>
<p>....... you can't be serious....... of course a rec from the president would impress any adcom.</p>
<p>it depends... if he knows you just cause you were inttroducced, then dont. It wiull look like a wonderful gimmick</p>
<p>If he knows you personally and you have spent tiime together, then ofc u should</p>
<p>Seriously, if he writes a generic not-from-the-heart reco, you are dropping names... and thats gonna hurt</p>
<p>that would be crazy cool</p>
<p>that would be a great rec!</p>
<p>I'm from easter europe as well. Which country, my dear?</p>
<p>It'd be really really interesting if it's the russian president, putin. now that's going to rock the house...</p>
<p>The dude should be able to say more than "He/she is a smart kid. He/she would represent your school very well."</p>
<p>N. Korea baby!</p>
<p>N.korea doesnt have president....they still have "king" ruling....</p>
<p>i didnt mean to be mean...puppetzz...</p>
<p>Can I get a reco from the president too...kamala89 ???</p>
<p>lol, how about the president writes letters for all the CC members!</p>
<p>kamala89, unless you have taken classes taught by the said President, don't bank on its being of use, make sure you send in the required recs from your teachers.<br>
Now if you are an offspring of a dictator or king, Harvard etc may let you in! The top IVYs are known to cater to the rich and the mighty.</p>
<p>If you're talking about Tony Blair then I bet you already have enough connections to get into any school. Except maybe Tufts. :p</p>
<p>Yeah, that would be good.....Seriously any president on CC , please write a reco for me ,please...</p>
<p>OMG I just talked to my president but he said he would only rate me "top 10% in all career from the whole world" instead of "top 2-3%" !! what am I to do? Do i still have a shot at the ivies??</p>
<p>Man... you are screwed. Bart Simpson,"You are going to Stanford"</p>
