Tips on Letters of Recommendation | Grad School App Advice

I decided to make a video specific to talking about the letter of recommendation for grad schools (Masters or PhD). I answer a few common questions people asked me like who you should ask for recommendations from, what info is included in the recommendation and the best way I think you should go about asking for that recommendation. This can be a fairly important part of the application so I hope this helps. Enjoy!

Your videos are very helpful and contain very good tips and adivce. I especially like that you first explain the why of the topic; LoR, research experience, etc. Thank you!

Do you have any advice for those coming from industry? Should I ask for a LOR from my manager (R&D)?

[@bonchonjonjon]

Yes, if you are proud of your accomplishments at your position, the supervisor sound like a great choice.

[@user-rl2ww9pe7k]

Do you have tips for freshmen or sophomores in undergrad trying to get involved with research?

[@scottking6481]

Do you have a major advisor yet? Ask him/her

[@bonchonjonjon]

There are lots of things to try out. If you're looking, you could try asking a professor of a class to see if they are taking students. Sometimes, there are dept announcements with openings available. And yes I agree with the suggestion of talking with your advisor as well if they have any leads.

[@W81Researcher]

I haven't done anything like this. Is this what grad schools want?
