Слайд 2Step 1: Choose Well
#1: Choose someone who knows you well.
If

you aren’t sure, ask them if they feel that they know you well enough.

Don’t just ask:
“Can you write a recommendation for me?"

Phrase it:
“Do you feel you know me well enough to write a letter of recommendation for me?“

#2: Choose a faculty member. Preferably a big name in the field you wish to research is best. Though it is more important that the recommender knows you well.

Слайд 3Step 2: Start Early
Ask for a letter 5-6 weeks before the

deadline.
If they are rushed –
you will end up with a weaker recommendation.

Don’t be shy.
Writing recommendation letters is part of a professors’ job. They are happy to write recommendations for good students.

We know…
You may be hesitant to ask for the letter and push it off until it becomes close to the deadline… Don’t.

Слайд 4Step 3: Provide Information
Recommenders need information about you in order to

write an effective recommendation

When asking for the letter, include -
a summary of your interests & accomplishments
- and -
attach your resume or CV.

Слайд 5Step 4: Follow Up
Send a reminder e-mail to your recommender at

least a week before the deadline.

Please write recommendation!

Слайд 6After you get the letter, make sure to say thank you.


(You’ll be surprised how many people forget…)




If you send a thank you note, the recommender will be more willing to write a letter if you ever need one again. If not – you won’t even feel comfortable to ask!

Oh. And let the recommender know if you received the position you were applying for.

Step 5: Show Your Gratitude
