I always advise busy parents of college bound teens to “assemble their weapons.” Intense, right? This phrase brings to mind a vision of a “soccer-mom-by-day-ninja-by-night” superheroine. Though that would be an awesome action movie idea, I don’t mean deadly weapons. I mean all of the items you should gather in order to automate the scholarship application process. Recommendation letters are an important weapon. In fact, I recommend that your college bound teen have three: two from academic sources and one from a community service source.
This week on the Get The Acceptance Letter podcast, available on itunes, Google play, Pocket podcasts, and Overcast, I talk about how to make a good recommendation letter great, and how they are a key to a #DebtFreeDegree.
In this episode, you will find out:
- What a recommendation letter should focus on
-
How “Active language” improves a recommendation letter
- How the paper itself figures into the legitimacy of the recommendation letter
- And MORE
