important points of your application. a good one can help you gain an acceptance into a school that you normally wouldn't be accepted to. while a bad one often breakyour entire application. keep these tips in mind when you're hunting for that perfect recommendation. remember, substance over style. you wouldn't want to ask the professor

that knows you the best, who can best attest to your character, your personality andyour academic work ethic. not necessarily the most famous professor or that noble pricenominee in your department. second, seminars over lectures. smaller environments often give students more individualized one on one attention. it also gives theprofessor more of a chance

to get to know you leading to a better recommendation. third, keep it simple and make it easy. remember that theprofessors are doing this as a favor to you, but they are not obligated to do so. with this in mind, make everything as easyfor them as possible. ask them six to eight weeks

before the recommendation is due. and give them periodic reminders, also give them all the information that could make the processof letter writing easier, transcripts, resumes, personal statements and why you want to attend medical schoolare all great resources. for more tips on the medical school admissions process
