graduate school recommendations
#21
ladylearner Wrote:Just reporting back here. I incorporated suggestions from the lovely folks here and was able to get two letters of recommendation. For each professor I prepared a little packet - one in English and the other in Spanish with:
- CV and letter of intent
- cover letter explaining what I need and when, what program I was applying to, how I developed my ideas in their classes
- info about the program

They both seemed happy to help. I am pleased with the results. Thanks for your suggestions, everyone!
This is great! I really like the way you did it. This gives them all the info they need to write the letter without writing it for them. If I ever needed another recommendation, I would follow your lead.
