Letter of Recommendation : Do and Dont’s
November 15, 2007 by Raghu
College admission requires atleast 2 Letter of Recommendation (LOR ). Graduate Schools Admission committee evaluates the candidates credentials and reference letter plays an important role in that about what recommendation providers have said about you.
Some college requires LOR to be submitted online and I have seen graduate schools, requiring LOR to be sent via email directly to the graduate school or to specific department. Some graduate school have their own form (template) that has to be completed, instead of traditional LOR in letter form. Here what to include in LOR, and the right way to get the LOR for graduate school admission application.
The process is very simple, but it might be time consuming.
- Identify the person who is going to give recommendation letter
- Ask them to include details on your research skills, problem solving skills, team work, communication ( written and oral ), analytical ability, leadership, social skills, ..
- Get the LOR in the Referring Personal letter head, make sure you get it signed and if possible seal ( or Stamp )
- Put the LOR inside a cover ( envelop ) paste it and get sign on the Envelop joint. So, it will ensure, its not tampered.
Now, your recommendation letter is ready, here list of top 8 skills to include in reference letters. I have collected sample recommendaition letter from current students in U.S. I will be posting in few days time. If you like to be notified by email, subscribe to email updates.

@shawn: I don’t have any sample letter of recommendation, but schools have their own form. You can use them as guidance.
sir can u just tell me the format for recommendation letters as i am very confused an not able to convey to my university abt it..kindly help me as i am in need
Hi Raghu,
It would be great help if you kindly provide some sample letter of recommendations. If it is not a standard template provided by the university, then should it be simple hand written LOR, or computer print out. Should I make individual fields point wise, like, 1. research area, 2. analytical and problem solving skill, 3. communication skills etc, and get these fields filled by the respective professors.
Please provide a standard sample LOR.
Thanks!

Hi,
Can any one of you give me some idea regarding research and project expossure.
Actually I have doen my B.Tech in Metallurgy and Materials engg, and I am an applicant for MS in Materials science for Fall, 2009 session. During my engennering , I had participated in one project only. Considering the fact that I don’t have good project exposure, will it hamper my chances of getting admission and sholarship in graduate schhol in the US, even if I make a decent score in GRE?
hey,
i m currently doin my 4th of Btech and i wanna apply for a PhD course in Biotech.
Can u plz mail me the type of LOR which will be the best in my case.
