Hey,
I remember seeing a letter of reccomendation sorta guideline and checklist, it was somewhere on this site before. It basically gave you a few things to write about yourself and pointers to portray yourself as best as possible. I recently asked my biology 1 teacher for a reccomendation and he was more than happy to write me one for dental school to keep on file (I genuinely loved biology), but he wanted to know a little more about me, and write him an essay about myself so he can better write my reccomendation. He is really enthusiastic about me wanting to become a dentist and is a really helpful guy, so I would like to find that checklist or better yet, have some personal opinions on what would be smart to write about myself. Thankyou.
 
Basically I gave all my teachers a short vignette. It wasn't an essay, but an outline of my accomplishments. I included volunteering experiences, awards, honors, memberships, hobbies....etc. All my teachers were happy to see that I provided them with my info. Some also wanted my transcript. It was more like giving in my resume to them.
