什么时候索要推荐信

Ask people to serve as recommenders as early as possible, 例如, in the early fall of your senior year (if you plan on entering graduate school in the fall following graduation).  Remember that the end of the semester is a busy time for faculty. 也, be sure to keep up with faculty you have in mind as possible recommenders, as faculty sometimes take sabbaticals or semester’s away.

请谁做推荐人

The best recommenders are those individuals who know you well. 希望, you have spent some time getting to know those individuals from whom you plan to ask for letters. Generally, it is advised that you have at least one academic (faculty) recommender. It is preferred to ask a faculty member who has the word “professor” in their title (as opposed to a temporary or adjunct faculty member). 其他想法包括:

  • someone who has earned the degree you are seeking
  • someone with an advanced degree who has supervised you in an internship, job, volunteer work, etc.
  • 导师
  • it is best to stay away from asking parents, family, and friends to write letters

如何询问推荐人

A request for a letter of recommendation should take place in person, if possible. 当你让别人写信时:

  • 解释你需要什么
  • talk about how this relates to your academic goals
  • 告诉人们你为什么选择他们
  • ask them if they are willing to write you a strong letter (this will help eliminate those who might write a lukewarm or negative letter).

If the recommender is willing to write the letter:

  • 给他们最后期限
  • provide the recommender with a packet of information about yourself and your application process at the time of the conversation or shortly thereafter.

给推荐人的信息

该包应包括:

  • an acknowledgement of the recommender’s time and a “thank you”
  • information about how to get in touch with you (email address and phone number)
  • a short summary or bulleted list of those things you would like emphasized in the letter
  • the list of schools to which you are applying and corresponding deadlines (include the earliest deadline at the top)
  • details about letter format and where to send all letters
  • a closure that includes another expression of appreciation

该包可能包含:

  • 你的目的陈述
  • 你的简历
  • 你成绩单的非正式副本
  • a copy of your best work in the course (if you are asking a faculty member from which you’ve taken a course)
  • recommendation forms (be sure to type in your name, 推荐人的姓名, and any other information that could be filled in by you)
  • 贴上邮票并写上地址的信封

跟进推荐人

Remind your recommenders at least one week before the deadline.  Send a “thank you” note to each recommender within one week after the deadline. 最后, once your plans have finalized (and you have decided which school you will be attending), send a second “thank you” letter that includes your final plans.
