大家都知道,申请留学美国必需准备至少三封推荐信,那么提交的步骤及注意事项都是怎样的呢,很多同学会存在很多疑问,下面随看一看美国留学推荐信怎样提交?
首先来了解下推荐信的提交步骤。
第一步:确认推荐信递交方式。网上递交电子版还是邮寄纸质版根据学校的要求而定。一般在学校硕士申请要求介绍里面以及开通网申后的推荐信一栏学校都会清楚的注明。为了节省材料审理时间,目前几乎所有学校都接受网上提交推荐信的这种提交方式。只有极个别学校要求申请者将纸质的推荐信邮寄到学校指定的地址。当然还有一种情况,就是当你网推这种方式因为某些未知原因而无法完成时,学校给出的解决办法一般有两种,一种是将推荐信发到指定邮箱; 另一种就是把纸质推荐信邮寄到给定的地址。
第二步:推送推荐人信息,需在网申系统中完成。目前都需要网上先将推荐人信息发送给学校,由学校系统统一给对应推荐人发送上传推荐信链接或寄送推荐信地址。所以在推送推荐人信息之前,需提前准备好推荐人相关信息:姓名、头衔、职务、工作单位、邮箱、联系方式以及含邮编的地址,与申请者关系,认识时间等准备在word文档里。一般建议在网申开通后,截止日期前1个月内,就建议首选推送推荐人信息给学校,以便留够充足的时间给相关推荐老师及时上传推荐信。避免因为推荐信不全,即使是截止日期后,学校也不会开始审理材料,而错过最佳审理时间。
第三步:上传或邮寄推荐信。申请者需要尽快联系推荐人,请推荐人确认是否收到申请学校的邮件,并安排时间,建议在截止日期前完成推荐信的上传或邮寄。请申请者提醒推荐人准备一份PDF版和word版的该推荐人的推荐信,打印在带有推荐人工作单位抬头的空白信纸上,并有推荐人手签的正式的文件,另外部分学校网推中对于申请者各方面能力或素质的评估要根据推荐信中对申请者相关能力的推荐,两相结合来填写;推荐信中没有提及的其他能力的评价可以填的略低些或者无法评价;不要都是过分高的评分。
第四步:检查推荐信是否完成。确认学校是否收到推荐信,避免由于推荐信不全学校无法审理材料。
温馨提醒:请同学们务必重视推荐信的作用,为美国硕士申请做充足的准备!
接着来看看书写的注意事项
一 推荐人态度要明确
推荐人是极力推荐还是有保留的推荐呢?当然,推荐人如果是极力而毫无保留的推荐申请者的话,那么说明申请者是足够的优秀啊!校方能感受到学生的人气和实力,maybe会对你另眼相待哦。有些学校的推荐表格中要求推荐人对学生进行综合评估,即说明该申请人在其所教学生中的评比。由于这个评估是推荐人的个人评价,所以可以相对偏高一些。
二 推荐信贵精也贵多
留学申请时,学校通常会要求2-4封来申请者的学校导师或者教授或者实习单位领导的推荐信。在学校没有强制限定篇数的情况下,建议你提供足够的3篇。一般,每封推荐信至少能对申请者的2-3个特质作出推荐,那么3封推荐信差不多可以推荐申请者的方方面面,从学习潜力到研究能力,从个人性格到综合素质。
三 推荐信的格式要到位
推荐信的格式与一般书信基本无异,包括信头、发信日期、收信人姓名、称呼、正文、信尾谦称、签名、推荐人姓名、职称、工作单位、联系方式等部分。推荐信内容中提到的关于申请者的信息注意要与其他申请材料相匹配。
四 推荐人与申请者关系讲清楚
推荐信正文中,要交代清楚推荐人与被推荐人的认识时间(什么时候认识的&认识了多久),认识地点和认识途径(彼此是什么关系,师生or上下级or同时)。只有推荐人对申请者足够了解,推荐信才更可信才有的推荐。
五 推荐信要表现其“真实”性
推荐信尾部必须有推荐人的亲笔签名;推荐信提交与“学生无关”:推荐人直接把推荐信提交到学校指定的网址或系统,如果是纸推,推荐信要确保密封签字的推荐信,并在信封封口处也签上名字,信封正面写上表明信封类别“推荐信”。
六 推荐的要有理有据,忌空口无凭
对于专业明确的学生申请所作的推荐,一般侧重于申请者的天赋、学科潜力、学习能力、创新意识,工作态度、个人品行等,这是推荐信的核心内容。尤其注意的是推荐的“度”,恰如其分并结合实际事例的评价申请者的基础、能力和未来澳际,比言过其实的赞美更让录取委员会信服。
最后给大家带来一瓶范文。
In capacity as Professor of Mathematics at Fudan University?I'm writing to recommend Mr. Wang?Gesintosyour PhD program in Computer Science. I have known Mr. Wang since his sophomore year of college?and have acted as his thesis advisor and mentor. In my experience?he is a gifted and diligent student?and an admirably hard worker.
Wang is an impressive student because he has been forced to overcome the significant challenge of a serious illness during his freshman year. When I first met Wang in my Discrete Math class?he did not appear to be anything special to me. While his exam scores were good?they were not as high as I would now expect of him. What I didn't know then was that due to his illness?Wang was attempting to take all of the difficult early mathematics courses at one time?including Discrete Mathematics?Advanced Mathematics?Linear Algebra?and Possibilities. While most students found preparing for just one set of these exams difficult?Wang was overwhelmed by four of them. But in the end?he achieved an impressive score on the final exam?which made me conscious of his unusual determination he demonstrates when confronting difficult challenges.
Mr. Wang and I have often talked about a variety of mathematics and computer science concepts and problems. During these discussions?I always found him to be delightfully intelligent. Not only does he quickly understand the concepts and problems presented to him?he is able to analyze these problems and present solutions. But perhaps most important is that Wang's thinking is intensely rigorous. When looking at any question?he carefully scrutinizes it and if he finds any uncertain issues?he clears them up immediately. I believe this kind of thought is essential to become an excellent computer programmer.
Serving as his thesis advisor?I had a first-hand opportunity to observe the way in which Wang's mind works. In his senor thesis?Mr. Wang mainly discussed two challenging questions in regards to″ANN″. In our books in China?knowledge of ANN and its uses are very rare. Few people in China have studied this topic and consequently?the materials that are available on ANN are limited. Working on this difficult project?not only did Mr. Wang rise to the challenge?but he went above and beyond the call of duty to analyze his secondary sources and test them for accuracy in practice. In this way?he found mistakes in the book that we use. His diligence and hard work made me extremely proud of him.
Mr. Wang is an intelligent?motivated?and industrious individual. Teaching and advising him has been a delightful pleasure. I know that if given the chance to study abroad in America?he will arm himself to become a great programmer he dreams of being. He has the intelligence and background to achieve these goals - now all he needs is the opportunity. I ask that you look upon his application favorably and grant him a chance to study in your university.
