FactorName	Recommendations
FactorDescription	Anecdotal letters of recommendation from teachers and your counselor that give evidence of your intellectual curiosity, special skills, and positive character traits. An extra recommendation from a coach, supervisor, or someone who knows you well can help only if it sheds new light on your talents. However, letters from family friends, even if they are well known, are rarely given much weight.
