JenGintheED Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I have minimal interaction with pre-PA students so I haven't written many LORs. I've actually only written two (one person, 2 years in a row) and she didn't get in either year despite being an outstanding candidate IMO. Can someone experienced with writing good LORs provide some tips? I'm not even sure what schools look for these days. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted May 19, 2023 Administrator Share Posted May 19, 2023 My outline: 1) Who I am. 2) How I know the applicant. 3) How I think they will do in PA school, with as many specifics as I can provide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas5814 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I write a short note about who I am and then write the rec based on what the strengths of the candidate need to be. That might be work ethic, team skills, communication, medical skill etc. I try to target the position I am writing the letter for. I used to write letters frequently but decided several years ago to limit myself to one a year. I state that in my letter... something along the lines of "I am asked several times a year to write a letter of rec but limit myself to one a year. (Name) is the person most deserving of this letter." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
