Most letter writers will find it useful to have access to a copy of your CV and personal statement. If someone is unable to write a strong letter then you should ask another person. You should confirm that your letter writers will be able to write strong letters of recommendation on your behalf. It is generally a good idea to reach out to your letter writers at least two months before the deadline.
Applicants often take an active role in ensuring that letters of recommendation accurately summarize past accomplishments as well as your potential for success as a graduate student. We recommend prioritizing letter writers who can speak to your research experience and/or academic potential whenever possible. Please do not submit additional letters as they will not be reviewed.
Please submit 3 letters of recommendation.
