management PhD申请——求救纠结的推荐信

microeconomics

整个人处于一种迷茫的状态中 lz自己申请18 Fall 国内某211财大 GPA3.8+ IELTS7.5 GMAT马上考(大概700左右水平吧) 有比较水项目无paper
现在纠结的是推荐信，硬套了一封院长的推荐信(没上过他的课 是的没错) 我写他交 因为看到他co-author里面有目标学校committee的老师才想试一下，想请问大家这种情况他的推荐有什么影响...现在冷静下来想想万一对方学校觉得我连他课都没上就拿推荐信可信度存疑那是不是就GG了！抓瞎ing...
先谢谢路过的各位了！给各位拜个早年吧！

面面团

祝好运！

没什么影响 挺正常

不會有負面的影響 但也加不到分
如果要有你寄望的效果 那就得是這位院長不只親自幫你寫很強的推薦信 而且還額外私底下主動幫你聯繫他的coauthor推銷你
你捉刀的推薦信 正常學校的committee都看得出來是學生自己寫的

同意楼上的，特别是国内的申请人，建议最好不要捉刀，你一定要捉，也请花点钱找个靠谱的文书机构帮忙改改，好多捉刀的推荐信真的一眼就能看出来，尴尬症都要犯了

I hope my reply is still helpful.
It would certainly make your application more visible if your recommender, presumably a big name, has a connection with the committee member. Different from the posters above, I don't think the language of the letter will become a big issue as long as it's not too flawed. Here I am assuming your dean is not a native speaker of English as well.

However, a big problem may lie in that the committee member might contact your recommender directly. In which case you really need the dean's words to back you up. I suggest you take every chance to impress your dean and make sure he/she backs up you even when approached privately. As what one of the posters suggested, if the dean could reach out to the committee member, it would give you a real boost.

Good luck with the process.

谢谢大家的回复！不好意思这么长时间才来, 申请加实习忙出花儿了！

update一下近况: G700(实在没时间二刷直接送了) 一月中交的还没收到interview
前段时间私下接触了一下院长 应该做不到davidzjt前辈说的那种强推qwq

再次感谢大家！
