Re: Letter of recommendation for college admission

The majority of admissions officers at 4 year colleges, especially private schools, emphasize that their process is holistic.

How to write Letter of recommendation for college admission

1. Involve the potential student

It's a safe assumption that you will know the student that you are writing the college recommendation letter for, and you will have a relationship with that student,

There are many people in your life and it might be difficult to remember the specifics about that particular student.

Ask that student to provide a list of their extracurricular activities and a copy of their transcript (if applicable).

These will help you to reference specifics in your letter of recommendation.

2. The Introduction

Begin with the standard "To Whom It May Concern."

The first line should provide the name of the person you are recommending.

Next, state how long you have known the individual and in what context.

3. The Body

Admission counselors want to hear two things.

They want to hear specific examples of the individual's personal qualities, leadership abilities, generosity, dedication, drive/ambition,

Also they want to know why this individual would be a good fit for their school.

4. Conclusion

Now I am providing you sample letter so that you can get idea about the same.
