    Idea Help! Letters of Recommendation for Optometry School

    Hi I'm new to the forum but was hoping that I could reach out for some advice. I am currently applying to Optometry School and am requesting letters of recommendation from a few people but not sure exactly what to tell them I want in my letters.

    The current people I am requesting letters from are:

    1. An Optometrist, at my previous place of employment ( I worked there 2 years)
    2. Office manager at the same practice
    3. Another Optometrist who I interned/shadowed for a few months

    I would love to hear any suggestions you guys have about what should be in these letters to make them stand out and hopefully help me get into school.

    Thanks !

    I would think that the letters should speak of your character, high moral fiber, and attentiveness to the patients needs, rather than just your job performance. Seeing as two of the letter writers are optometrists, they should have a good recollection of what was written in the letters of recommendation that were submitted on their behalf.
