赴英留学的学生,哪有一个不想去诸如牛津、剑桥这类名校的,但是真正能去的除了自身能力突出外,一封可以额外加分的推荐信也是不可或缺的。
英国大学不仅注意申请人的考试成绩,也很在乎学习和工作中反映出来的多方面能力。推荐人须熟悉申请人的学习、工作情况,了解申请人的学习目的是否明确、在学术上是否有前途,以及申请人的适应性、创造性、个性和特长。
英国大学一般要求申请人提供2~3封推荐信,作为院校了解学生的重要依据。
在写推荐信的过程中任何的俗语套话是将自己埋藏的最好方式,当然如果你想让你鹤立鸡群显得更加独一无二。那么你需要做的是力求突出自己的特点。把个人情况具体深入化,别泛泛而谈耍贫嘴。此时,你曾经获得的奖励、或发表过的论文此时就可以派上大用场了,这些资历放在上面都是烫金的铁证,是你额外加分的利器。
最后针对几封推荐信,应该根据自己的情况有侧重地选择推荐人,使每封信的内容在客观评价的基础上重点突出自己的某一方面。
例如第一封着重介绍申请者的学术成就,如学习成绩、外语和计算机水平、获奖情况等。第二封着力赞扬申请者的工作能力,如讲求工作方法、能解决工作上的难题等。第三封重点揭示申请者的整体素质和优良品德,如逻辑分析能力、与人沟通的能力、有创新精神、做事果断、乐于助人等。
当然如果你能找到一些颇具声望的人来给你写这封推荐信,那么你无形当中已经增加了拿offer的筹码了,当然前提是你真的蛮优秀,否则再怎么好的推荐信也将化为堆积在顶尖大学申请函中的的废纸。
