Can I get a LOR from a professor outside my college, like from MIT?
Yes, you can get a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) from a professor outside your college, such as from MIT, if you have a strong academic or professional connection with them.
Admissions committees value LORs from individuals who know your work and abilities well, regardless of their institution. The key is that the professor can provide specific insights into your skills and character based on direct experience.
LOR requirements may vary by country and university, so check each program’s guidelines.
