To secure strong recommendation letters for study-abroad applications, start by identifying suitable recommenders, such as professors, employers, or mentors who know your academic or professional abilities well. Request letters early, providing at least a month’s notice, and share your CV, statement of purpose, and program details to help them tailor their letters.
Offer clear guidance on submission deadlines and methods, whether via email or a university portal. Follow up politely if needed. A well-written recommendation highlights your strengths, achievements, and suitability for the program, so choose recommenders who can provide specific, positive insights about your capabilities.
