RequestForRecommendation

Dear Student:

Because I receive a considerable number of requests for letters of recommendation, in order to be able to prepare a good letter of recommendation on your behalf (one that best represents how well you have performed in my classes), I am asking that you please complete the following form and provide me the following material (you can send documents electronically, leave printed copies in my mailbox, or mail to the address below):

A current résumé;
A current transcript (can be a Knightweb transcript, does not need to be an official transcript);
Information about or a description of the academic program, job, or scholarship for which you are applying;
Specific information that would help me recall examples of the outstanding work, volunteerism, tutoring, club membership and participation, or any extra-curricular activity in which you have participated;
Application form(s) required by the institutions/organizations you are applying to (please COMPLETE all required sections in advance);
If requesting that the letter be submitted to SUNY Geneseo's Office of Career Services, please upload the form by clicking HERE.
Envelope(s) addressed to the organization(s) the letter(s) must be sent to [for letter(s) to be mailed outside SUNY Geneseo, please stamp envelope(s)].

Once I have received the material listed above, and you submit to me the COMPLETED REQUEST FORM BELOW, I will be able to write your letter. Please keep in mind that because most requests for letters usually come around the same time, it could take me from two to six weeks to write a letter for you.

Muchas gracias,

Dra. McEwen
