Re: Recommendation Question: Personal Information OK? [#permalink]
Ideally, your recommender should produce a convincing paper that strengthens your candidature in every way. Honesty and thoroughness is key; they can write about anything if they think it will help them achieve the ultimate goal of giving you that extra push through the adcom firewall. If you're not sure about the quality of their approach, then search for a different recommender.

Re: Recommendation Question: Personal Information OK? [#permalink]
Love the analogies you discussed. :) I think it's all about how your recommender presents the info. If your rec says that you guys attended game together or can bring it across in a natural way, it will work well. Him/her simply saying that you can be seen with gear and trinkets at your office won't be all that important and will come across cheeseball. I think the fact that you have already attended UM for 4 years and desire to be in AA again will already make a strong case for your fit with the school. Don't need to go overboard just for the sake of doing so.
