I understand the importance of letters of recommendation for grad school applications.
My question is: ideally, how much should my recommender know about me? I ask this because I study in a top, big research school in which the interaction between the undergrad researcher and the PI is very limited (as opposed to smaller universities): the professors are always busy - classes, conferences, travels, advising their usually large number of grad students, personal life etc, and there isn't much time for undergrads (who rely more on the other grad members of the group for help and assistance, and only occasionally meet with the PI).
Appreciate any inputs!
