tip no. 1 - establish your relationship with the recommender/dee.

tip no. 1 - establish your relationship with the recommender/dee.

example: I have had the distinct pleasure of having shockresist as a student in the School of Law of the Peking University and was his adviser when he wrote his senior thesis, which is a major requirement of the Juris Doctor program of the Peking University.

tip no. 2 - have your recommender demonstrate that he knows you well, if possible, in and out of the classroom (LLMs recommendations will require academic recommendations, rather than professional recommendations, except if you have a justice for a recommender)

example: The Juris Doctor Program of the Peking University is a rigid and demanding program, and shockresist fulfilled the program requirements with the distinction of ranking 25th in his class of 1,000,230. This is remarkable, considering shockresist's vigorous involvement in the Peking University's co-curricular activities. shockresist served in the as Editor-in-Chief of the Peking University Journal on International Economic Law, as President in the Law School Student Council, Captain Ball in the Peking University Basketball Team, President in the Ateneo Center for African-South American Human Rights Advocacy Center, and won Mr. Law School, a beauty pageant where male law students are contestants. He also served as lead astronaut in the NASA mission to Mars aboard the Endeavor with Angelina Jolie as co-captain, won the gold medal in synchronized diving in the 2002 Olympics. He likewise served as stunt double to Mr. Brad Pitt for all of Mr. Pitt's movies from 2000 to 2007, and was consistently required in scenes where Mr. Pitt was required to do butt exposures.

tip no. 3 - if possible, have recommender narrate instances when you saved the world in law school.

example - When shockresist was in law school, he established the Save the World scholarship fund (the "Fund") which granted scholarships to deserving but poor law students to allow them to study in the Peking University Law School. He funded the Fund by winning the 2002, 2003 and 2004 Texas Hold 'Em World Championships. He also removed the 6.0 scoring system in figure skating and changed it to the current scoring system, when he was President of the World Figure Skating Union. Thus, under his term, I believe that the sport of figure skating gained greater respect as a sport, as an institution, and as an art form.

tip no. 4 - if possible, have recommender show his personal relationship with you, how s/he mentored you, and how you used that mentorship for the greater good (if possible, to save the world)

example - shockresist holds himself to the highest standards. As his supervisor when he wrote his thesis, I was impressed with shockresist's eagerness to learn, his diligence, and his ability to motivate himself and to perform with minimal supervision. His dedication to scholarship is remarkable: During his graduation, I challenged him to take his thesis on space exploration law further as a law school thesis should only be a starting point for more serious work three years later, he developed his thesis in a paper which identified and analyzed the relationships between space exploration law, God, Starbucks, foie gras and Mac computers, and presented it before the United Nations in its 28th session in New York, spurring the ratification of the Eradicate World Hunger Treaty, and obtaining the highest commendation of the United Nations Secretary General. What makes this achievement even more impressive is that he developed his paper while he was performing a triple twisting quadruple pike dive in the 2006 Olympics (where he won the gold medal). shockresist also saved the life of the President of the United States of America three times, the most remarkable one being the occasion where he created an antidote to the Rage virus (which incidentally wiped out the whole of England) from a mixture of pimple pus, ketchup, lamb fat and lint.

tip no. 5 - show the link between your interest and what the school offers or the program that you choose to take in the school

example - The focus on French Indochinese Commercial and Civil Law of the Oxvard University is a perfect match with shockresist's research interests as he has done substantial work on Chinese space exploration law, oil and gas exploration law and trade dispute law. In addition, shockresist's inclination to study and view the law through the lenses of other disciplines such as philosophy and economics will be valued given Oxvard University's thrust of including the study of sex, politics, economy and society as part of the LLM program.

tip no. 6 - insert a statement that AFTER the LLM, the candidate will become THE messiah, and IS jesus christ incarnate.

example - It will be important in the coming years for countries such as China to build liaisons with Ghana. shockresist's knowledge of Ghanese language and his commercial law practice makes him the ideal bridge between the legal and commercial dealings between Ghana and the China. This is evident from the statements in Ecclesiastes 18: 56-59, where it is said that "One who knows Ghanese law and language but comes from the China, and whose name rhymes with electro-resist WILL save the world" and foretold by Dante Aleghieri in the 7th line of the 7th Canto in Paradiso - "Il tiramisu i tu to mio!" His colleagues, my fellow professors, and I will always hold him in the highest esteem, I sincerely recommend shockresist as the ideal candidate as a graduate student in the Master of Laws Program in Oxvard University.

Very funny. I realy liked your writing. Would you like to write one for me?
by the way, what do you do, Mr. Shockresist?

fortunately

Shockresist, you had me laughing my head off! This was very funny!

actually, this is the headache of your recommender. the applicants are generally expected not to even know what has been written about them.
However, the schools expect from the Faculty to know about the applicant about his academic acumenship, the level of applicant's honesty and integrity; and his seriousness in pursuing the chosen path.
