class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Letters of recommendation are one of the most important documents you submit with your graduate school or job applications. They serve as a professional assessment of your potential to complete graduate school or perform successfully on the job. Therefore, it is important to develop relationships with your instructors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take advantage of your faculty mentor\u2019s invitation to meet whether you are on campus or online. Speak with your instructors outside of class (e.g., discuss topics from class you\u2019d like to learn more about, learn more about their research, get career advice). Get involved! Below are tips and resources to help you reach out to faculty members and successfully ask them to write a strong letter for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Which faculty member should I ask for a LOR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faculty with whom you have taken at least one course. Preferably, you would have done very well in these courses and made a connection with \/ stood out favorably to your instructor. Ask yourself if you have made a great impression on this faculty. Ask yourself if they see you as hard-working, professional, polished, and mature. Then, ask <em>them<\/em> if they can write you a strong LOR for graduate school or a job you are applying for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not assume a faculty member will agree to write you a letter even if you did well in their course(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all requests for a LOR will be accepted. Do not be offended if they say no. The most common reasons faculty might decline your request include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They do not know you or your work well enough to offer a professional assessment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weak or uninformative LORs decrease your chances of getting into the program or job you desire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Timing or workload issues. This is why you should ask well in advance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">When should I ask for a LOR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should request an LOR at least 6 weeks before the first application is due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last-minute requests often get rejected due to timing or workload constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">What should I include in my request for a LOR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A polite introduction and overview of your request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The course(s) you took with them and the grade(s) you earned there.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The semester(s) and year(s) you took the course(s).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your graduation date (actual or planned).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any research activity in and\/or outside of required coursework, with the faculty member or with others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any presentations of your coursework or research.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A current resume\/CV<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The statement of purpose you will be sending with your application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An unofficial copy of your transcript.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GRE scores, if applicable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sample coursework from your course(s) with that faculty member.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organizational or leadership activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any other experiences outside the university, such as employment, volunteer work, or internships related to your field of study.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Honors and awards you have received<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Information about the program you are applying to (name of school, department, program, and focus of study to the best of your knowledge).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A specific address (physical or electronic) to which the LOR should be sent.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If any physical paperwork needs to be sent, include it along with an addressed and stamped envelope.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the LOR is to be submitted via an online form, list the faculty member on the website that will send them an automated request (but only after the faculty member has agreed to write your letter).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The deadline for the LOR (usually the application deadline).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the graduate school has a specific form that the faculty member must complete, provide a copy of the form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are requesting LORs for multiple programs, provide an organized list that includes the information mentioned above for each program. The nearest deadlines should be listed first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Double-check that all the information you are sending is correct and up to date. If anything changes, let the faculty member know ASAP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Faculty members may have additional requirements, so ask them if there is anything else they would like to have before writing your LOR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">What should I do after a faculty member has agreed to write my LOR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Waive your right to access\/review the LOR in your application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you change your mind about one or more of your applications, let the faculty member know ASAP that they no longer need to submit this LOR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow up with the faculty member 2-3 weeks before the deadline to ask whether they need any additional materials from you and to gently remind them of the upcoming deadline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you do not receive a notification that they submitted your LOR, follow up again 1 week before the deadline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After you have submitted your materials, keep the faculty updated on any decisions you get \u2013 they are rooting for you and would love to hear from you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is professional and courteous to write a thank-you note or letter (email is fine) to your faculty for spending the time and effort to write you a strong LOR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Additional Resources:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psichi.org\/page\/212EyeWin17cAppleby#.XjM3LUF7kuX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Letters of Recommendation for Graduate School: Purpose, Preparation, and Procedure<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psichi.org\/page\/203EyeSpr16cGomez#.XjM9wEF7mHt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Properly Request Letters of Recommendation From Your Professors: Ask, Don\u2019t Tell<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Letters of recommendation are one of the most important documents you submit with your graduate school or job applications.
