What it does
Choose the right recommenders
Helps your student pick the teachers and mentors who know them best and can speak to different strengths, so every letter adds something new.
From the ask to the submitted letter
A step-by-step workflow: when to ask, how to ask, gentle reminders and the thank-you note. Every letter is followed until it's submitted.
