Do you know that a letter of recommendation can make or break your admission chances in American universities
To know more about it keep watching
Hello guys my name is Pratyush and you are on the road abroad in today's video
I'm gonna be talking about a very very important factor in your admission chances in American universities
That is a letter of recommendation
this video is in continuation of a previous video when I talked about a lot of things like the SAT, ACT
TOEFL. admission application processes and many other stuff so you can definitely check them out
So moving ahead if you don't already know the American
universities follow a holistic approach in making your admission decision which means that apart from your grades
They're going to be considering a lot of other things and one of them is a letter of recommendation
Now what exactly is a letter of recommendation?
It is actually a letter from your behalf to your
University from persons like your teacher your principal your employer or other such person who know you for a very long time
Professionally so in this letter they're going to be putting in things like for how long they know you? how you are as a person?
What's your personality? what's your development over the years they know you?
your involvement inside the classroom or the workplace and outside of it and many other such things now
Why do the American University's recquire this letter in the first place? that is because the American?
Universities aren't only concerned about your grades
They also want to know how you are as a person and there are next to none chances
That they are going to be meeting you in person before making their admission decision so that's why the neat things like the letter of
Recommendation and now that you know what goes into the letter and by the university is recorded
I'm going to be talking about how to actually approach your teacher for this letter so before doing this I would advise you to increase
Your involvement in an outside your class so that your teachers and your principal
Notices you and at the end of the year the teacher who you take knows you best
And who you think have your best impress just approach them and tell them that hey
I want to apply to an American University, and they require a recommendation letter from you
They would very happily agree with that. So what did I be doing is that?
They're gonna be telling you to write a draft or the letter on his behalf
And then he can just proofread it and make any changes
That's necessary and then sent a letter to the University so another thing that confusion many students
And it did a little bit of trouble to me as well is how did scientists send that letter to the University?
so see that completely depends on the way you are applying to if you are applying to the
Universities using common application where you're going to be entering the details such as the name email address and phone
number of the teacher this will send a link on the teachers email address with further instructions
same goes if you are applying to most of the
Universities through their websites and some universities will actually even give an option to the teacher to email that letter directly to their website
For exact information refer to the university's website. You are applying to after the letter reaches the University your work is done congratulations
