 Getting recommendation letters can be a job in itself

a, STEVE MASSEY
Start Writer

A UK senior is a pic-med student. Ilcsides
hating to takethc MCAI iit order to get iitto
medical school. the student ntust also present
some letters of recommendation which
evaluate his capabilities and past
performance. lhe student should:

I. (let some laeulty bttddies to write bitttery
letters telling the retiewcrts all his good
qualilties.

2. Pick out someone whodoesn't know hint
but has a lot of pull in the ntedieal field.

3. Write the letter himself siitce only lie
knows how good he is and wltat qualities lie
pDSSL‘SSCS.

4. Find someone he knows reasonably tsell
that can relate to the ntedical disclipiite and is
a sery honest. objectise person.

'I be apparent answer is \o. 4. Btit there isa

possibility that some students hoping tueiitcr
a prolessiimiil field or liiid a good joh at’eit‘t
sitre what to do ttheu it comes to hating
someone etaluate them.

llerbert l)rennon. associate arts and
sciences dean. is an old hand at writing letters
of recommendation ttt liiclt he calls "letters of
etaltiatioit “y One problem he encounters is
students who simply pop up out of nowhere
when tltcy suddenly need a recottintcitdatioii.

"lhis is a fairly large institution where
classes tend to be large." said Dreititoii. “And
it would be practical for a sttideitt to get to
know a professor who cotild help. But the
student ritttst titake ait ellort."

”owner. the stitdetit shouldn‘t pick just
arty body.

()btioiisly. tenured Iaculty members are
usually ltiglily respected by society. lltcy also
cait be good rclerences. Yet the basic
approach. said Drcitrtou. should be “to look

lot people who can ctaliiate yoti. lioin
reasonable etideiiee and contact. iii terms of
ttliat you are applying for,“

Carrying this reasoning a hit ltiitliei. Di
.Iaiiics Cltaptitait. assistant to the tice
president ol Academic -\llaiis. says the
stiideitt must look loi' tttotltiiigs III the turret.

“lhc student must get soiiteoue whose
opinion the reader will respect. as tscll as
someone ttltose etaluation is objectite." said
Chapman.

l)rettitou‘s approach to writing sticlt letters
consists ill sitting dottii aitd talkiitg with the
student tor a fairly long period of tittic. ltl
order to poiitt otit potential problems the
student might hate as tsell as to get a feel lot
the student's inotitatiott "lhis ltelps tlte
sltidcitt to appraise ltittisell lll tcriiis of jobs
and career suitability." said l)rennon.

\iit ttll llte hllt‘tletl lies on the shoulders ol

said. "lhc letter sltotild itot he a set ot

Cliapiitaii said it he doesn't tltiiik he kttotts
a sttideiit ttell enough to help hint iii ttritirtg

let the student knots ttltat to e\pcet. lt take.
