Students are to submit a form to the NS Office so that we can set up files in preparation to receive your letters. Students should accompany each request with a waiver form and enough biographical information to help you to write a thoughtful letter. Letters should be returned to the NS Office by the end of the winter semester, or as soon after the end of the semester as is convenient for you no later than the end of May, please. For those students who make the first cut, requests for secondary applications will be sent. Requests for secondary applications can come as early as August or as late as January.
Letters of recommendation are to be sent as part of the secondary application.
As students inform us of the schools who have requested letters, Penny will prepare a set of letters for each school and mail them, along with a cover letter which includes a tally of the recommendations you make on the waiver sheet. Linda Abraham gives periodic seminars for our pre-med group to assist them in preparing their applications. I hope you find her suggestions about letters of recommendation to be helpful as well.
