To secure strong letters of recommendation after studying abroad, start by identifying professors or supervisors who know your academic or professional abilities well. Reach out politely via email, reminding them of your work together and specifying the program you’re applying to.
Provide context by sharing your CV, transcript, or a summary of projects you completed under their guidance. If meeting in person isn’t possible, offer a virtual call to discuss your goals. Give recommenders ample time (4-6 weeks) and clear submission instructions. Follow up with gratitude, whether they agree or decline, to maintain professionalism.
