It's application season. In just a couple years I went from a near total rejection rate to a 100% success rate for everything I've applied for.

In addition to luck + timing, one of the biggest changes I made came from letters of recommendation. Let me show you how. 🧵 I know what you're thinking "Arianna, we all have to get LORs, that's not unique. So how is that an advantage? Plus we have no control over what's in the LOR, so it's pointless."

TRUST ME. There is a way to wield your LORs like a sharp-tipped, freshly made sword my friends.
