LOR Questions - Where to find?

Question

Hey - I'm trying to give my recommendors a heads up on what questions they should be expecting. Where would I be able to find the questions for each school?

Also, is there a good book to buy that would have some strong examples of letters? I'd also like to give them some good examples.

Thanks!

You can usually find them on the application sites of each school. I don't know of any books but you can do a search of the forums on here and come up with what people have done in the past. Many of us provided guides on how to write them since they are slightly different than a job LOR. Schools wont care how great your technical skills are with a computer or anything like that...they want leadership, teamwork, how you rank against your peers...etc.

Here is what I did. I signed myself up as a recommender. Then assessed the system to copy the questions. Afterwards, I deleted myself as a recommender. If you haven't already sent notifications to your recommenders, you should be able to do that.

A few schools e.g. Wharton don't make it easy for you to do that. So you want to verify that you will be able to delete yourself as a recommender without having to call Admissions office.

Otherwise, you can do a thorough search of the website to see if you can find recommender questions. Not all schools make them available however.
