Bioenchilada Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Hey!I was curious about how much leverage a LOR from a very well connected and incredibly famous scientist can give you in terms of admission. Like, if the letter is good, will that give me an edge over other applicants-- especially at the university at which this person works?
fuzzylogician Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 It likely will give you some edge, especially at the school this person works at, but also at any other school that would value this person's opinion over someone more obscure. This is assuming that it's a strong letter, not a "did well in class" letter. No one here will be able to tell you "how much leverage" it will give you, though. That's not really something anyone can quantify.
Bioenchilada Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 Okay! Thank you very much for your advice, it's extremely comforting. :)
