Go beyond the ask. After someone agrees to be your recommender, you're going to send them a "game plan" that gets into the experiences you had and your accomplishments in greater depth than you did in your initial request. For example, the student who highlighted the Chaucer project as an accomplishment in their request for a recommendation can now remind their professor what aspects of the presentation they worked on and reiterate that they organized the group's study sessions. The applicant who was a medical scribe should list their daily duties and talk about some of their most poignant or analytical learning experiences. You get the gist. If you're not sure what to include, get in touch with us at Apply Point, we can help you pull specific details from your experiences.
