Recommendation Letter Tips
Ask three former professors or instructors who can describe your qualities as a student and the likelihood of your succeeding in graduate study to submit letters of recommendation. You may provide these individuals with your Goal Statement, so that they can speak to your specific proposed individualized program of study. If you have been out of college for some time and are no longer in contact with your college professors, you can consider asking your employers or others who can speak to your work ethic.
