2017推薦信的相關(guān)資料
聽(tīng)說(shuō)最近好多同學(xué)都被推薦信搞的焦頭爛額的，小編特地為大家準備了推薦信的相關(guān)資料。希望能夠在申請季為大家的文書(shū)寫(xiě)作起到好的指導作用。
什么是推薦信
不管是申請醫學(xué)院、法學(xué)院還是其他學(xué)科，不管是出國讀碩士、博士還是申請工作，都需要推薦信。推薦信是請教授從他的視角客觀(guān)地對你進(jìn)行評價(jià)，證明你個(gè)人的技能和特點(diǎn)的文書(shū)，是美國大學(xué)申請的基本文件之一。一般說(shuō)來(lái)美國的研究生院要求提供 3 封推薦信，信件作者應該熟悉學(xué)生，并且有一定知名度。
推薦信的意義
推薦信其實(shí)是學(xué)校深入全面了解你的一個(gè)方式，也就是說(shuō)你在寫(xiě)你的 application 的時(shí)候，任何地方都有字數限制，可是只有推薦信這是沒(méi)有字數限制的，而且推薦信是唯一一個(gè)可以別人給你意見(jiàn)的地方，所以各個(gè)學(xué)校都十分想要知道其他人對你是怎么看的，也是幫你補充申請材料的一個(gè)好地方。
另外一個(gè)意義呢，其實(shí)就是所謂的叫 verification，你在你的申請 personal statement 和 activity 里面都寫(xiě)了很多自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。但是并沒(méi)有人能證明你說(shuō)的是否都是真實(shí)的，所以推薦信的作用之一就是 verify 你的活動(dòng)。
應該找誰(shuí)要推薦信
可以找熟悉自己、和申請專(zhuān)業(yè)相關(guān)的老師(比如修過(guò)該老師的課、一起做過(guò) research 的)很多人會(huì )下意識去找自己成績(jì)比較好的那門(mén)課的負責老師。當然這個(gè)很重要，但是最重要的其實(shí)是對你在課堂之外的表現也很了解的老師;也可以找實(shí)習地點(diǎn)直系負責人，盡量找比較熟悉自己的 supervisor。有很多熟悉的上司情況下，職稱(chēng)越高越好。還有什么人可供選擇呢?就是你參加過(guò)的校外活動(dòng)的負責人。他們作為見(jiàn)證者，不僅能證實(shí)你確實(shí)參加過(guò)某些活動(dòng)，還能使招生官從一個(gè)課外的角度來(lái)了解你。
如何要到好的推薦信
好的推薦信，有的時(shí)候并不一定需要做過(guò)一些什么驚天動(dòng)地的事情，反而是老師平時(shí)觀(guān)察到的令人印象深刻的小事更能吸引人的眼球。所以好的推薦信，其實(shí)最主要的一點(diǎn)還是平時(shí)點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴的積累。
同時(shí)同學(xué)們應當找一些年級稍微大一點(diǎn)的老師要推薦信，他們對寫(xiě)推薦信也比較有經(jīng)驗，他們更清楚應該在平時(shí)觀(guān)察一些你的什么品質(zhì)，寫(xiě)推薦信的時(shí)候把你的'人品做一個(gè)很詳細的介紹，讓大學(xué)了解更多你在課堂之外的東西。
我們可以提前準備一個(gè) information packet，把自己經(jīng)歷過(guò)的的活動(dòng)都寫(xiě)下來(lái)，根據重要性寫(xiě)一個(gè)排名，讓老師知道哪一個(gè)需要重點(diǎn)看，哪一個(gè)可以一掃而過(guò)。做好這個(gè)information packet，能讓推薦人快速了解你，同時(shí)幫他寫(xiě)出內容更詳實(shí)的推薦信。
好的 information packet 可以在前面列一個(gè)提綱，用概括性的標示分類(lèi)，而后再詳細寫(xiě)下來(lái)你都干了什么事情，這樣以方便你的推薦人隨時(shí)翻回去重新看。然后下面可以把這些活動(dòng)按時(shí)間順序排名，最重要的可以 highlight 。每一個(gè)活動(dòng)都要有一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)短介紹。至于所獲獎項，就大概寫(xiě)一下是什么級別的獎，有多少人參加。整理好之后，在你邀請推薦人幫你寫(xiě)推薦信的時(shí)候可以直接把這個(gè) information packet 給他們，他們在寫(xiě)推薦信的時(shí)候就可以參考這個(gè)材料。
還又一個(gè)就是上面講的 verified activity，證實(shí)你做過(guò)你說(shuō)的這些活動(dòng)，如果有 information packet，你的老師也在推薦信中強調了你做過(guò)的這些活動(dòng)的話(huà)，等于說(shuō)上了雙層保險。
所以大一大二的同學(xué)建議從現在開(kāi)始就給自己做一個(gè) activity list，做這個(gè)對申請是有非常正面的影響的，因為不管你將來(lái)申請什么一般都是要寫(xiě) activity 的。有了這樣一份記錄，到時(shí)候做 personal statement 的時(shí)候，也可以做一個(gè)你自己的 reference，不至于無(wú)處下筆。
想要要到好的推薦信還有比較重要的一點(diǎn)是時(shí)間。你一定要給你的推薦人預留足夠的時(shí)間構思這個(gè)推薦信，不能跟他說(shuō)我明天這封推薦信就要交了，今天才去問(wèn)老師要，那你的推薦信很難會(huì )是好的推薦信。要注意教授也有其他的事情要做，你不能指望他用一天寫(xiě)出來(lái)一個(gè)好的推薦信，一般推薦信都是要慢慢寫(xiě)，慢慢琢磨，慢慢改的。所以一定要給你老師足夠的時(shí)間去寫(xiě)。其實(shí)所謂的足夠的時(shí)間，基本上是越早越好，盡量早地跟老師表明你的意圖，讓老師有所準備。
注意：老師如果讓同學(xué)自己寫(xiě)，同學(xué)需盡量說(shuō)服老師用官方郵箱自己上傳。同學(xué)在選校名單確定后，開(kāi)啟網(wǎng)申，輸入老師郵箱，學(xué)校的系統會(huì )給老師的郵箱發(fā)送鏈接。同學(xué)將選校名單、推薦信和最晚上傳截止日期列表發(fā)送老師。確認老師在 deadline 之前完成上傳，無(wú)法當面見(jiàn)面的老師，必須用郵件確認以上步驟。
推薦信核心內容范例
Introduction(開(kāi)篇):
例子：Thank you for this opportunity to express my admiration for the intellectual gifts, public spiritedness, and professional potential of Mr.Deepak Tuli.
推薦人的背景：
例子：After earning my B.A. in English at University of New Hampshire, I earned my Ph.D. in English at Leeds University in 1990. I served as Assistant and Associate Professor of English at Bradley University from 1991 to 2005. I am currently Associate Professor of English at Indiana University in Bloomington and a prelaw advisor since 2007. I also teach the undergraduate elective, “The Law in Literature.” I have successfully recommended five of my students to your law school in the past four years.
推薦人和申請者的關(guān)系：
例子：My first encounter with Abhinav was while teaching Mountain Valley High’s two-year Spanish program. Born in India,Abhinav moved to the United States when he was young and immediately became fascinated by Mexican culture and the Spanish language. The only Indian student in the class, he not only stood out as an engaging, pleasant, and serious student, but his Spanish was already very advanced (he earned an “A” in all my classes). Outside of the classroom, I encourage my students to improve their Spanish skills by becoming community volunteers. Abhinav jumped at the opportunity. For the past two years now, he has volunteered part time for Eureka Valley Hispanic Services (EVHS), a nonprofit agency where I served as a Client Advocate until October 2009.Because our interactions in class and at EVHS enable us to see each other as manyas five times a week, Abhinav and I have gotten to know each other very well.
申請者的 core strength 可以從以下幾個(gè)方面入手：
Leadership
Interpersonal and Teamwork Skills
Intellectual Ability
Writing and Communication Skills
Multicultural and InternationalSkills
Character ,Integrity, and Ethics
Volunteering and Social Impact
Initiative and Creativity
申請者的 Goals and Potential
例子：Stan tells me his short-term post-M.B.A. goal is to work as an investment research analyst covering emerging markets either for an investment bank with a presence in Southeast Asia, such as Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, or at a mutual fund specializing in the region, such as Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund. Combined with the special insights he has gained through his working knowledge of China and Vietnam, either route will give hima rich and nuanced foundation in the market and its companies. In the long term, Stan plans to work as the fund manager of a Southeast Asia emerging marketsfund. Ten to 15 years from now, I believe he will be in an excellent position to start his own fund focused on Southeast Asia or perhaps entirely on Vietnam.
總結結束語(yǔ)
例子：I have advised four students who ultimately graduated from Vanderbilt’s Peabody College of Education and Human Development, and Bruce’s ability and potential compare favorably with them. He has shown the potential to be a truly outstanding educator and will be a credit to your program. I wish him every success in his teaching career.
注意：如果同學(xué)自己寫(xiě)推薦信，請務(wù)必注意文件名、語(yǔ)言，風(fēng)格，格式風(fēng)格不一。這部分棕櫚班主任和導師會(huì )幫同學(xué)們把關(guān)。
