It is suggested that you fill in your name and social security number on each blank form. I'm not sure exactly what I want to study. Advise the people writing the recommendations to make them general enough to be used in applying in a variety of fields. Concise letters which are one page in length are appropriate, unless the program specifically requests a more lengthy, detailed account of your skills, work, and accomplishments. Two or three letters are usually sufficient, but be sure to read each school's letter requirements.
Quality counts more than quantity.
It is your responsibility to check with the File Services staff to be sure that every letter of recommendation has actually been received. Many writers will need reminders that their letter has not arrived at the File Services office. Even if someone says your letter has been mailed, do not assume that it has been received at File Services. You may want to leave self-addressed stamped postcards with the File Services Coordinator to be mailed back to you as each recommendation arrives for your file. Try to select recommenders whose support you don't doubt.
