Recommendations...
In order to write the best possible recommendation letter for you in a timely fashion, I will need the following things at least one month before the recommendation is due:
- An up-to-date copy of your CV/resume
- An unofficial transcript
- A representative personal statement for the position desired
- A list that includes the following information:
- Name of University
- Name of Program/Scholarship/Internship
- Name of position desired (i.e., M.A., Ph.D.)
- Application deadline
- Address where the recommendation should be snail-mailed or emailed
- Optional (but helpful): name(s) and research interests of faculty with whom you wish to work
Please Note: I am happy to fine-tune personal statements, letters of intent, etc. but please make sure that they are in reasonably final form before sending them along to me.
