Letters of recommendation can feel like one of the most confusing and stressful parts of the med and law school application process. In this episode, the GradMissions team breaks down exactly what letters of recommendation are, why they matter, and how to approach them strategically.

We cover who you should (and shouldn’t) ask, why a big name isn’t all that, and how to choose recommenders who truly know you and can speak to your growth, work ethic, and character.

We also share insider insights from admissions committees, including common mistakes, timing tips, and a few high-level strategies that most applicants never hear about.
If you’re planning to apply this cycle, or even thinking ahead, this episode will help you approach letters of recommendation with clarity and confidence.
