Hi,

I also asked a famous palm reader, and he strongly recommended in going to Santa Clara University versus any other colleges I applied.

Could someone correct this sentence I found online.

'Recommended in' is totally unnatural. In addition, the way 'versus' is used is not quite right.

And you need to say 'applied to'.

Was this sentence written by a native speaker?

Here are some correct versions.

I also asked a famous palm reader, and he strongly recommended (my) going to Santa Clara University

( instead of any of the other colleges I have applied to.)

I also asked a famous palm reader, and he strongly recommended Santa Clara University versus any of the other colleges I have applied to.
