都不是很完美的模版,不过大概样子都在那里了。我觉得中国申请者在做ps和rl的时候经常面临的一种误导性思维就是担心审材料的人会不会发现自己的ps和rl是一个人写的,然后因此拒掉自己。我个人感觉这种担心其实不是太必要,理由有二:(1)审材料的人看你的材料的时间和高考老师判作文差不多,所以一个是不认识的人写的推荐信基本不看,一个是即使看了也不会仔细辨别写作风格,然后花很多时间寻找推荐信是你自己写的的证据;(2)其实模版这个东西不光我们用,国内老师用,其实美国大部分老师应该也都用,用个人化的笔触写个人化的推荐信的事不是没有,但应该局限于个别的牛老师对个别的及其出类拔萃的学生。至少我得到过的美国老师和从北美接受教育的中国老师写的推荐信都是从他们自己的模版改来的,我知道的一些老外同学的推荐信好像也是即使没有模版,也有固定的格式。
所以我的建议就是,ps要写得比较有个性,但rl可以基本比照托福和gre作文,只要别和一篇范文百分之百雷同就好了,但多看一些模版,并且从每个里面学习一个精炼句型应该是没事的。下面是模版:
1。
It gives me great pleasure to recommend ________________ for admission to graduate school.
__________________ was my lab assistant for three semesters, and distinguished herself with her natural curiosity, attention to detail and near-encyclopedic knowledge of her field of study.
She excels in a classroom setting as well, earning a 3.7 grade point average while taking a full course load even as she worked 20 hours a week in the lab. In fact, several times I stopped by the lab after hours only to find that after her shift ended, she stayed on to work on her own independent research projects.
______________ is modest, but her talents are well known among faculty and students. Her peers routinely go to her for help with their projects, and she is always happy to help. She recently led the university's team to the International __________ Competition, where we placed second and __________________ herself took home an individual award.
_____________'s diligence, intellect and commitment to her studies are unmatched. Her greatest pleasure is to challenge herself. I include her in the top five percent of students I have had in my 25 years of teaching.
Please let me know if you can benefit from any further insights into _______________'s experience and character. I know she will excel at graduate school.
2。
It is without reservation that I recommend _________________ for graduate school. He is an exceptional student, and one with a bright future in the field of _________________.
__________________ is in my senior seminar course. His focus and determination are among the qualities that make him stand out from the crowd. He is smart, a high achiever, and eager to learn. His assignments are always submitted on time and to the exact specifications I require-things many students have trouble with. More importantly, his essays are thoughtful and well-written.
I will surely miss ______________'s contributions in class. His curiosity and "take" on topics often led to some of the most interesting discussions I have ever witnessed in 12 years as a professor. He's led me to challenge my own thinking on some issues.
I have absolutely no doubt that __________________ will do your graduate program proud.
3。
I am writing in support of __________________, who has applied to admission to your graduate program.
As ________________'s professor, as well as his academic advisor for the past two years, I can attest that he is a dedicated, gifted student who is sure to excel in graduate school.
He is a creative thinker, but one who always backs up his assertions with research. His papers are meticulously sourced, and he never takes shortcuts when it comes to coursework and special projects. He works well independently and in group settings.
Last semester, when I received a grant to explore a dynamic in which _____________ has keen interest, I immediately brought him on board as part of the team. When I approached him about the project, ___________'s eyes lit up like a child's on Christmas morning. He didn't even ask if he'd get paid! (He did, and deservedly so.)
These qualities, combined with his passion for the study of _____________, makes him an ideal candidate.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have further questions about ____________.

It is without reservation that I recommend _______________ for your MBA program. She is an extraordinary student, and one who I'm confident will excel at _____________ University.
I have had ______________ in my undergraduate business courses for three years now, and during that time she has repeatedly expressed her goal of securing an MBA. Specifically, she has long aspired to be admitted to your fine program.
_______________ has repeatedly distinguished herself at our university. Besides serving as an officer in the Students In Enterprise program, she has mentored junior high school students as part of the Global Entrepreneurship Program. She is also a center on the ________ University Cougars basketball team. Even with all these activities, _____________ is an A student as well, as you can see from her transcripts.
Last semester, ____________ exhibited exceptional qualities as she served as co-organizer of the Business Department Job Fair. When two employers backed out of the event, she was resourceful enough to contact and secure new participants to take their place. The job fair was a huge success, connecting students with employment opportunities while spreading goodwill about the university's business partners.
To reiterate, ______________ is an excellent candidate for an MBA. If her work in my classes is any indication, she will definitely be an asset to your school.
5。
I am writing to recommend _____________ for the _______________ Fellowship. I have been his professor in three courses over the last three semesters here at _______________ University.
_______________ has been a joy to have in class. Never content to settle for conventional wisdom on anything, ________________ repeatedly displayed his curiosity and dedication by taking on independent research and starting good-natured debates in class. If I assigned a chapter as "optional reading," you can bet ___________ read it. Still, ___________ is remarkably humble. He is a good listener, both thoughtful and open to new perspectives.
Along with his many academic achievements, _________________ has been involved in several extracurricular activities, from the university lacrosse team to serving as a volunteer on the Up All Night Fundraising Drive.
I am proud of ________________'s accomplishments at our university, and am confident he will excel in the fellowship program. It excites me to think of the impact _____________ will have in our field.
