想申請(qǐng)麻省理工的同學(xué)看過(guò)來(lái)，MIT申請(qǐng)推薦信示例！

由于MIT的申請(qǐng)人群體競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的激烈性，推薦信在我們決定是否錄取占有重要地位。一封成功的推薦信能起到的效果，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超越申請(qǐng)者的自我宣傳。

學(xué)校的升學(xué)指導(dǎo)和任課老師撰寫(xiě)的具體且有故事性的推薦信對(duì)申請(qǐng)者而言是最有幫助的。他們應(yīng)該向招生官提供一些無(wú)法從其他申請(qǐng)材料中獲取的信息。嘗試撰寫(xiě)出學(xué)生的完整的成就，盡可能用事實(shí)和軼事支持推薦信的結(jié)論。

請(qǐng)?zhí)貏e注意推薦信的開(kāi)篇和結(jié)尾。請(qǐng)記住，以MIT的招生官為例，每年至少需要閱讀超過(guò) 20,000 份申請(qǐng)，推薦信需要用推薦人自己覺(jué)得舒服的方式寫(xiě)作，不要退避真實(shí)情況。推薦信最好有示例支持并為招生官提供背景，例如學(xué)生成績(jī)的背后是什么。而不是只談學(xué)生的成績(jī)，因?yàn)檎猩偻ㄟ^(guò)其他途徑也可以知道學(xué)生的成績(jī)信息。另外，推薦信在 MIT 錄取過(guò)程中都是保密的。

讓我們來(lái)看幾封推薦信示例：

1.Teacher recommendation for David:

It is a great pleasure for me to recommend David for admission to MIT. He is one of the most extraordinary students I have encountered in 20 years of teaching. I taught David A.P. Calculus last year as a tenth grader, and he was one of the very top students in an extremely able group of mostly seniors. He has a high aptitude for math and was very much involved in his work, applying himself with persistence and dedication and often going beyond the regular class assignments.

David’s abiding interest, however, is computer science. He has developed a series of “strands” for use in providing computerized drill and review in the basic skills and techniques of algebra and arithmetic and has recently adapted these to other subjects. David’s work in this area has been so original and significant that he has published a paper on it and delivered several lectures to professionals in other parts of the country. This is a phenomenal accomplishment for anyone, especially a young man in rural Arkansas. It is also worth noting that both last year and this year David taught computer programming to a tenth-grade class of mine for two weeks. He took over completely, preparing lectures, assignments, and tests with great care and thought. His lectures were clear and well organized, and it was obvious that he had expended a great deal of effort to make the course the success that it was.

David’s personal qualities are as impressive as his intellectual accomplishments. An extremely kind, sensitive and sensible boy, he has had a difficult family situation for a few years now. He provides emotional support to his mother through her battle with cancer without allowing the situation to undermine his own stability and accomplishments. He has exhausted all that we have to offer him in this small community, and the maturity that he has demonstrated leads me to believe him capable of entering college a year early, as he now plans to do. I sincerely hope that you will be able to offer him a place in MIT’s freshman class.

點(diǎn)評(píng)：太棒了！這個(gè)推薦充分體現(xiàn)了推薦人對(duì)學(xué)生的了解。我們不僅對(duì)David的學(xué)術(shù)能力有清晰的認(rèn)識(shí)，而且對(duì)他的情感成熟度也有清晰的認(rèn)識(shí)。他對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)編程的真正熱愛(ài)體現(xiàn)在這位老師的描述中。我們還意識(shí)到，他正在突破自己學(xué)術(shù)的界限，在社區(qū)積極為自己創(chuàng)作更多學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)，這一寶貴特質(zhì)正是大學(xué)招生老師所尋找的！

2.Teacher recommendation for Jen:

Jen was a student in one of my predominately senior physics classes. She took physics her junior year in high school and was a good student. Through hard work, she was able to develop a good understanding of the subject material.

Jen also had personal qualities that are commendable. In the two years that I have known her I have never known her to be dishonest or untrustworthy. Once on an exam paper I had made a grading error in her favor. She brought this to my attention even though it resulted in a lower test grade.

In conclusion, I feel that Jen has both the academic and personal qualities to be a credit to the college of her choice, and I give her my recommendation without reservation.

點(diǎn)評(píng)：我們每年都會(huì)收到數(shù)千條這樣的推薦信。這一切都是積極的，但它并沒(méi)有給候選人任何真正的深度。在這種情況下，讀者會(huì)覺(jué)得作者在竭盡腦汁寫(xiě)點(diǎn)什么。推薦信中提到的“學(xué)生誠(chéng)實(shí)守信”，這當(dāng)然是令人欽佩的品質(zhì)，但在全國(guó)頂尖大學(xué)申請(qǐng)者中并不少見(jiàn)。我們正在尋找一個(gè)令人信服的理由來(lái)錄取學(xué)生，因此關(guān)于課程本身的信息提供對(duì)學(xué)生的錄取并沒(méi)有幫助。雖然 Jen 可能是一個(gè)勤奮的人，但我們的大多數(shù)申請(qǐng)人都是。盡管全篇推薦信都是積極的，但很難抓住任何切實(shí)的東西來(lái)使這位候選人的申請(qǐng)更有說(shuō)服力。這種淡淡的贊美是刻意的嗎？與學(xué)校的其他（更優(yōu)秀的？）候選人相比，Jen 的表現(xiàn)如何？
