Letters
of reference or recommendation letters play a very important part in
your admission. A recommendation letter is a signed statement from a
person who knows you well professionally or has taught you in a subject
that is related to the course you are applying to. It should list your
positive and negative qualities, strengths and other such information.
The author or teacher must indicate his position, how long he/she has
known the applicant and in what capacity. He/she should briefly discuss
the need, importance and usefulness of the study the applicant proposes
to undertake. Authors are usually asked to rank applicants in their
letters of recommendation, which helps admission officers to interpret
the academic credentials of foreign students. Students should obtain
letters of recommendation (often on the prescribed forms sent by the
institutions) from teachers who know them as a person as well as a
student. You may like to request your author to give concrete examples
that may show your qualities and help your case.
Many universities have their own format and questions that have to be
answered by the person who is giving the letter of recommendation on
your behalf. Letters, which do not give enough information, can
jeopardize a candidate�s chances of selection.
Note:
Even if not mentioned, it is advisable to include at least two letters
of recommendation in your applications as they increase your chances of
getting admissions.

The
personal essays, and/or statement of purpose, also play a very important
role in the process of evaluating your application for both admission as
well as financial aid because it gives the faculty assessing your
application their most significant impression of you as an individual.
A personal statement should include reasons for choosing this particular
course, your area of interest, the suitability of your education and
experiential background for this course and your personal and present
future goals.
