Betty Massar of Master Admissions That’s a tricky question for anyone. Sure, they might like palling around or teaming up with you. But do would they stake their reputation on you? What’s more, what would they say about you? When it comes to a recommendation letter, adcoms are looking for more than just flowery prose and enthusiasm.
