Does the tone or style of writing of my recommender need to be a certain way?

<p>Yes, the LOR must be formal but truthful, and must always be submitted in the third person. Example: "I taught Akshay during his third-year AI course, and was impressed with his research interest and discussion leadership potential." Avoid speaking in stiff third-person tone and leaping to blunt second-person declarations such as "you did well in my class." It's also significant that the LOR is personal and customized, not robotic or pasted. Incorporating real-life anecdotes, project names, or attributes makes it more likely to be remembered. Make your recommender write naturally but with clarity and organization.</p>
