<p>Im looking to transfer from Rutgers to a better undergrad business school and my teacher said just tell her details on which she will write the rec. Is there anything adcoms look for specifically in recs, like should it portray something within my essay or Extracurriculars or should It just be seomthing honest about the person.</p>
<p>Are professors always willing to write a letter of rec if they know it is going to be used to help you transfer? I have a similar problem. I want to transfer out of UCSB and attend either east coast school or UCLA. I don't know how to approach my professors about writing a letter of rec for me. I feel like they might be offended if they know my intentions. Any help with this concern would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>If the teacher can think of anything where you really stand out, that's the best thing they can write. You have to think back, and then hint at what might be good for them to write.</p>
<p>For example, I remembered my calculus teacher once telling me that he often did extra preperation for his lectures just because he was afraid I would ask a question. That's pure gold. When I asked him for the rec, I gently reminded him about that comment and told him it is exactly the kind of thing the admissions committee wants to hear.</p>
<p>2nd example: I had a physics teacher who I took for an honors class where we had to write a paper every couple of weeks. I remembered he really liked my papers, so when I asked for the rec I included a couple of my better papers (with his comments on them) and asked him if he could maybe use them as something to mention in his recommendation.</p>
<p>eanicich,</p>
<p>If your reason for transfering is good, they shouldn't be offended. But of course, some teachers will be offended anyway. You have to tread lightly.</p>
<p>If you write a killer essay for your reasons in transfering, and let your teacher read it, that might do the trick.</p>
<p>ok thanks johnM. I definitely dont want to seem like I am trying to exploit the relationship I have with my professor</p>
