Your essay stories and LOR stories have to be different anyway, coz if they overlap then its a kind of red flag that you might have written the LOR and given to your recommender!

i think this is wrong a manager is going to have a set of observable examples in form of achievements and success and you are probably going to write about them as they are the ones most recent. so stories can be same. but yes if writing style or language is same , it indicates probably you wrote and gave it to them to sign

this is exactly what even I believed earlier! But Tuck AdCom confirmed in one of the webinars that they look at it as red flag. Not sure about Cornell AdCom but I guess it would be along similar lines.

what if it happens by chance that the success you and ur refree talk abt are same. to check u would have to see the lor , defeating the very point of an unbiased LOR

Yeah got it. Thanks. But I was thinking that there are some high value projects that the recommender definitely writes about. I just thought if there is a overlap, its just an added confirmation about that story. Story overlap doesnt mean that I have written for my recommender.
