Guidelines for Letters of Recommendation:
- Before asking me to write you a letter of recommendation, please read the following guidelines. As your goal is to get the best letters of recommendation possible, my goal is to write the best recommendations possible for my students. These guidelines are provided to help us both:
- For me to write a
great letter, I should know you
and your academic
abilities pretty
well. The best way to know whether I will be able to write you a
recommendation is to ASK me!
- Set up an
appointment with me through email (llevett@ufl.edu) or stop by during
my office hours to request a letter. This should be at least
a
month
before your first letter is due for graduate school, and 6 weeks before
your first letter is due for law school.
- Once I have agreed to write your letter, I need all the materials to do so at least 3 weeks before your first deadline for graduate school, and 5 weeks before your first deadline for law school. Here is a list of the materials that I will need:
- A copy (unofficial is fine) of your college transcripts.
- A copy of your vita or resume
- A copy of your personal statement
- All the forms or materials I will need to write the letter (e.g., forms specific to one school or the LSDAS forms). Please fill out all the information that you can on these forms, including my name and contact information (listed below). If I am writing letters to individual schools, please include the addresses and contact names for all the schools to which you are applying.
- A copy of one of the following forms (these are in microsoft word, so type right on the form and print it out):
- Your contact information (email, phone, address, etc).
