Template — Draft recommendation letter
Some recommenders ask students for a first draft. Fill it with facts they can check, then let them rewrite, sign and submit it.
Document contents
- The template, ready to fill in: replace each field in brackets
- A page of advice to adapt it to your situation
- Only when asked: Write a draft only if your recommender asks for one.
- Facts, not superlatives: Course, grade, project, rank: everything must be checkable.
- Confidential: Your recommender submits the final letter, not you.
