Graduate School Recommendation

December xx, 20xx

To the Review Committee:

I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Janet Lerner, an honors undergraduate student in our

program. I have known Janet for more than two years. I came to know her very well when she was a

student in my economic geography course. This summer, I hired her to work on an NSF-sponsored

research project on Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change. And for the past six months,

we have been developing a laboratory manual for my undergraduate course on the global economy. It is

on the basis of this extensive experience that I write a letter of unequivocal support.

Janet is an undergraduate student in the honors program at Mythic University. The honors program is

designed to provide the educational experience of a small Ivy League college within a large public

university. To be accepted, a student must have high SAT scores, be an excellent writer, and have very

good high school grades. Students fulfill their course requirements by taking honors courses or by

selecting a combination of classes with a heavy emphasis on graduate seminars and independent reading

courses. Students must maintain a GPA of 3.2 or better in all courses in order to remain in the honors

program. Janet has fulfilled this requirement admirably, maintaining a GPA of 3.8 or better throughout

her career. Over the last few years, Janet designed a difficult curriculum for herself and has been very

successful in combining graduate seminars and advanced undergraduate reading courses to fulfill her

degree requirements. She is comfortable with herself and is well-recognized by her peer group. She, along

with her peers from the honors program, will enter the nation’s best graduate schools next year in such

varied fields as medicine, law, and other allied social sciences. She seeks to enroll in your graduate

planning program.

Janet is an enthusiastic, energetic, and exceptionally well-organized student. She writes beautifully, is

widely read, and demonstrates good quantitative skills. In my economic geography course, she was the

best student in the class. Her performance exceeded that of the incoming graduate students, including an

NSF fellowship recipient. She always came to class prepared and was clearly far above her peers in

understanding and appreciating the course material.

I have been especially impressed by Janet’s determination and sparkle. Her work on the Model United

Nations program (MUN) is an extremely large responsibility. The Model United Nations program

convenes approximately 1000 high school students from around the world to simulate the experience of

the UN. Janet has responsibility for designing and executing all phases of the simulation. She reviews the

agendas of the UN over the previous year, and then collaboratively develops the student-run assembly
