Letter of Recommendation
ASKING PROFESSOR WANDELL FOR A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
KEY POINTS
- Provide me information at least 2 weeks before your letter must be completed.
- I only write confidential letters.
The way to approach me about a letter is to ask: “Do you feel you can write me a very positive letter?” I will reply honestly.
If you don’t ask, I may write a letter that (a) indicates I don’t know you very well or (b) has a very neutral tone. I will refuse to write a negative letter.
REQUIRED INFORMATION
1. Career Development Center form completed and signed (confidential letters only). Fill out everything on the Career Development Center cover form [except my signature] including the part that states "to be filled in by recommender”.
NOTE: If you don't use CDC, provide stamped, self-addressed envelopes
2. Current (unofficial) copy of your transcript
3. Personal statement
4. Resume (if available) and any other information you suggest for inclusion in the letter
5. List of places you want the letter sent
