Who should write a recommendation letter?

READ NOW: Stop asking the wrong people, do this now!

Why do you need a recommendation letter?

• Schools will not offer you funding except you are provided with other documents, your recommendation letters.

• It is important that you know who to ask for a recommendation letter.

What then must you do when asking for reference letters?

• Determine what you need a reference letter for. When you determine the nature of your application, it allows you to focus on what is important. I explained this in the attached video.

• Know what your referee needs to make sure your recommendation succeeds. If the professors are busy, you need to guide them, so they can do it the right way. I also explained this in the attached video.

• How long do you need to know the recommender before you ask them for a letter? You do not need to know the person for several years, it is the quality of the relationship that matters, not quantity. I explained this in the attached video.

• How do you avoid asking the wrong people? Actually, there is really no way to tell, but if you ask as many people whose character you can vouch for, you reduce the chances of asking the wrong professor. I explained this in the attached video.
