دوستان من یک مطلبی رو توی کتاب KAPLAN GRE راجع به ریکامندر ها دیدم که به نکات جالبی اشاره کرده که به نظرم خیلی مهمه و جواب خیلی از سوالات بچه ها رو داده، عینا نکات مهمشو اینجا نقل می کنم:
One of the more common mistakes is to sacrifice an insightful recommendation from someone who knows you well for a generic recommendation from a celebrity or a prominent professor. Admissions officers are not impressed by famous names. So unless that individual knows you and can write convincingly on your behalf, it's not a strategy worth persuing.
Current and past supervisors, professors, academic and nonacademic advisers, and people you work with in community activities are good choices of recommenders.
Many schools will specifically request an academic recommendation. If you don't have a professor who can recommend you, use a TA who knows your work well. Similarly, if requesting a recommendation from your employer would creat an awkward situation, look for someone else who can comment on your skills.
There are two fundamental rules of requesting recommandations: ask early and ask nicely. The more time recommanders have, the better the job they'll do recommending you
You can help them by scheduling brief appointments with them to discuss your background, providing any form required by the program, and following up with them
