I came up with the parental recommendation from a podcast or book or somewhere. I can’t quite remember, but it is important for me and you never the less.

Here are the purposes of the parental recommendation in my mind:

• You see your parents perspective of you- hopefully it is a positive one
• They may shed some additional insight you do not know of
• Can be a reliable source of who you are

I’m sure there are a few others, but this should cover them.

A good structure would be:

• Brief introduction of your parent
• Your child’s strengths
• Things your child can improve on
• Insights or good stories about your child

Pretending that your parent would write for an admissions officer would be a good frame of mind to be in. Remember to keep it to a page double space, with the normal letter formalities.
