Session Description

Do letters of recommendation really make an impact in college admission? What do colleges really want to read about in a letter and how do high school counselors approach the process of writing one? This panel aims to share perspectives from both the high school and the college side of the desk to consider the ‘nuts and bolts’ of writing and reading letters of recommendation, as well as the impact of letters on an admission decision.
