<p>Does anyone know of one? If so, could you please post it. I know what makes an awesome letter of rec, but I wanna see a real written amazing letter of rec.</p>
<p>No one?..</p>
<p>Why would you want one is the real question… If it’s a peer recontamination letter just write truthfully but that really is the only instance you would need to see a letter since you are clearly a student from your past posts.</p>
<p>^I want one because I need to see what people mean by “If you have great letters of rec, it could push you over the top” —I want to see what constitutes an amazing letter of recommendation–a real example. I want to see how something so subjective can actually push an applicant over the top.</p>
<p>I’m not going to post the whole thing, but my teacher wrote this about me:
“…has one of the best personalities I’ve ever seen in a young adult…”
and
“I can only think of one word to describe her: Outstanding! She truly is an exceptional role model to her peers and a vital member of our community.”</p>
<p>An experienced teacher who says you are the best s/he’s seen in his/her career.</p>
<p>I think it also stands out if they describe you as person as well as an exceptional scholar. So Yalefanboy is not only a hardworking student, but has a kind disposition… basically similar to what xbuddyx3 stated</p>
<p>Oh ok I see. That’s actually what my APUS teacher said even though I didn’t do the best. He’s the debate adviser for the club for which I am president/founder 
Good to know that that is a sign of a great letter of rec. I thought it was generic :p</p>

<p>^Exactly answers my question. Thanks alot broskiz.</p>
<p>Well, I spose this is just thinly-veiled bragging, but to give you an example my therapist, in her letter to chicago, wrote:
“In my 20+ years of experience I have never met a young man with more academic potential”
I just about started tearing up…I think an “amazing letter” involves any sort of career-long superlative like I posted above</p>
