Transfer- Letter of rec from the DEAN?

<p>So apparently transfer applicants are required to have an enthusiastic letter of recommendation from the dean. Is this just like s teacher recommendation but from the dean? If so, how are students expected to get to know their dean, especially if they are from a big school? I don't know anyone who has even SEEN our dean around campus. </p>

<p>Any advice, or something clarifying, would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Usually there is a mechanism of facilitating ghostwriting in large schools.</p>
