I am a supervisor of this college student who’ve been volunteering in my tutoring center for the pass 5 years, 20 hours a week. He goes to a city school and wants to apply to cornell. How do I write him a recommendation and what should I include.? thanks for helping.
[url=<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/apply/prepare/writingrecs%5DThis%5B/url”>http://mitadmissions.org/apply/prepare/writingrecs]This[/url] is what MIT suggests to include. It’s a good starting point anyway.
Thank you so much
Are you the supervisor or, as your other thread suggests, the student?
Im trying to help my supervisor who isn’t too sure about the whole process
The single most important thing you can do to make your letter have weight, to make it stand out, is to include specific anecdotes (very short is fine!) that illustrate the qualities you’re trying to emphasize about the student.
That said, really crappy to pretend to be someone you’re not, @JCornell19. It’s not your place to involve yourself in your supervisor’s rec letter process to this extent. And when you want help from people (like CC users), it’s bad faith to present yourself dishonestly.
@skieurope: That link was awesome. Thanks.
my fault, I didn’t mean to present myself like that. COuld you guys go on my other thread and chance em
