Letters of Recommendation
Review these guidelines first: https://startnow.arizona.edu/begin-prepare/letters-recommendation.
Timeline for requests: at least 3 weeks in advance of deadline. Talk to me if there is a reason why a last minute request is needed.
Information to provide to me (as early as possible): This information allows me to write a thorough and descriptive letter specific to your application.
Information about you:
- Your academic transcript
- Your extracurricular activities (including research)
- Your long term academic, professional, and general goals
- Why you're interested in the program you are applying to
- What are two of your proudest or memorable accomplishments in the class(es) that you had with me? (beyond getting a decent grade)
Information on submitting the letter:
- The program(s) you’re applying to and their deadline(s) (Include links wherever possible. If requesting multiple programs, include a list of the programs & the corresponding deadline.)
- The recommendation letter guidelines if applicable (or a link for the program)
Follow-up: If I write you a letter of recommendation, please be sure to let me know how your application goes!
