Admission: Letters of Recommendation

We request that your three letters of recommendation are submitted electronically as part of your Electronic Graduate School application by the due date.

We prefer recommendations from faculty who have taught you in the more advanced computer science courses that you have taken and from faculty with whom you have done research. If you have done research, we expect a recommendation from your supervisor.

Please ask the recommenders to include a very brief description of their qualifications for writing the letter.

If you have left or are leaving an advanced degree program at another institution before receiving the degree, we expect at least one letter of recommendation from that institution. That letter should deal with the reasons for your departure.

Not waiving your right to review a letter of recommendation tends to diminish the value of the letter.
