PDF Filler For me Im tech savvy, so I can quickly find my way around for the features that I need myself, however for others they may find it tedious to find the feature, maybe I feel that way because I went through google suites, I was also disappointed at the extremely low rating, however most people must complained that it was not free, which is not really a big issue, no software is totally free, they need to make money, so they will surely make some features available as trail, if you need more stuff then pay, 100%, I don't agree with the negative reviews., that's why I stuck around for the software. I love this software, actually it is one particular feature that is EXTREMELY attractive for me, which is the ability to make a form that is 1) fillable, 2) electronically signable, 3) that can be available via a link, 4) that can be placed on a website, 5) and best of all accessible only by secure login. All these features are amazing. Not so clear features however I'm tech savvy so I had no problem, others they may find it tedious to find needed features. I was also disappointed at the extremely low rating.

Questions & answers

Can I get copies of my letters of recommendation that were sent to a college? It depends. You're allowed to request and get copies of your letters of recommendation unless you've signed a waiver giving away your right to access them (you can still ask for the names of the references).
You can reuse your letters of recommendation, but medical schools do not keep them on file, so you will need to resubmit them each time you apply. Just because you can reuse a letter of recommendation doesn't mean you should. If you are reapplying, consider the quality of your current letters of recommendation.
It's best to download a template that gives you guidance when preparing a Letter of Recommendation. You need to show some effort before asking someone to write you a letter.
Your letter should describe how you know the person and explain why you're recommending them. Think carefully before saying yes. Follow a business letter format. Focus on the job description. Explain how you know the person, and for how long. Focus on one or two traits. Remain positive. Share your contact information.
A successful letter should avoid: General language or overly broad descriptors of the student's performance in the classroom. Focusing on a student's punctuality or ability to complete the readings. Too much time and attention detailing the relationship with the student or the content of the course.
Please note that copies of recommendation letters are not acceptable and the student must have original recommendation letters for all universities.
