In most cases we prefer three letters of recommendation. Generally, these are
from faculty with whom you have worked, or from whom you have taken a class.
However, we often have letters from employers, volunteer supervisors,
etc.
Whoever you think will be best able to speak to your ability to do
well in our academic program is who you should ask for a recommendation. Please
do not solicit many more than three letters. Extras may not be
read.
Please remember that here, as with your personal
statement/statement of purpose, generic is not good. Please ask recommenders to
speak specifically about your qualities.
Finally, please remind
recommenders that their letters must be submitted electronically, or arrive in
hardcopy, before the deadline that applies to your application (international or
domestic). Letters that arrive after the deadline WILL NOT be accepted and WILL
NOT be included in your application dossier.
PLEASE NOTE: The
application system will not give your recommenders access to upload your Letters
of Recommendation until AFTER you have paid the fee and submitted your
application. If you wait until the last minute to submit your application, your
recommenders will not have time to upload your letters. Please plan
accordingly!
