这样提交推荐信，教授舒心你也舒心


关于推荐信上传，有2种方法：申请人（applicant）上传推荐信；推荐人（Referee）上传推荐信。今天主要给大家分享一下由推荐人（Referee）上传推荐信的步骤以及注意事项。

由推荐人（Referee）上传推荐信，分为3个步骤：
1. 申请人（applicant）在网申系统填写推荐人的姓名，头衔以及邮箱地址。

2.  学校发送邮件给推荐人。

LSE发给推荐人的邮件：

UCL发给推荐人的邮件：

lease click on the link below. You do not require a username and password to log into the referee's portal. If the link takes you to a login page requiring a username and password then it will be because the link below has split. Please copy and paste the FULL LINK into your browser address box.
                                    

3. 推荐人（Referee）收到学校的邮件后，点开邮件里面的链接，在Referee Portal板块上传推荐信，选择upload，然后submit提交。

注意事项:

如果推荐人（Referee）是学校的老师，那么最好填写学校的邮箱（edu.cn结尾的邮箱），不要填写老师的私人邮箱，比如qq邮箱，126邮箱等。

大部分学校是可以直接上传PDF格式的推荐信（UCL不建议上传PDF的格式）。

UCL发给推荐人的邮件：

When you click on the link you will have these options:
- Complete an online form including a space where you can copy and paste a pre-prepared statement or write directly into the box provided;
- Download, complete and upload a reference form in Word format;
- Upload an existing reference in Word or PDF format. Please note that we strongly encourage you to use Word rather than PDF as PDF can cause problems with merging documents after an application is submitted. Our preference is that all references are received in the format provided in the online form or existing Word document.
- Decline to provide a reference if you feel unable to act as a referee for ***

提醒推荐人（Reference）将招生委员会的邮箱设置成白名单，不然学校系统发送给推荐人的邮件可能会被屏蔽。
UCL网申系统的提示：

We advise that you and your referees add the following email address to your list of approved contacts so that you receive all application related correspondence: xxx

如果推荐人（Referee）迟迟收不到学校的邮件，申请人可以发邮件给学校的招生委员会，向招生委员会说明情况，寻求帮助。学校很快都会给出解决方案，比如提供一个电子邮箱，让推荐人直接将推荐信发到这个邮箱：又或者建议推荐人直接将推荐信邮寄给学校

LSE招生委员会的邮件回复1：

Dear ***,

Thank you for your email and interest in the London School of Economics.
We are sorry to hear that your referees are having trouble submitting their references. Please ask your referees to check their junk/spam folder as emails from LSE often get filtered out. If your referees are still experiencing trouble in submitting their references, then please ask that they submit their references to xxx and we will manually add these to the online reference portal to complete your application. However, please note that this method will delay your application in being submitted as we will need to do this manually.


LSE招生委员会的邮件回复2:

Dear ***,



Thank you for your email. Please check that the email address sent to was xxx . However if that is not the issue and it still cannot be sent electronically please ask them to send the reference and form to us by post

那一组华丽的推荐信可以怎样写？



推荐信的精髓在于“呼应”。推荐信的角色就是“捧哏”、就是尽职尽责地从第三者的角度把 PS 里提到的牛X特质不同程度地呼应一遍。而具体的“呼应”门类可以有下面几种：



1. 对 PS 的深度呼应。例如 PS 里提到申请者具体强悍的临场应变能力，曾有一次在公司股东大会的现场扛住了几大机构投资者对公司业绩的各种刁钻诘难和盘问。那这时推荐信里就可以由公司管理层的某总出一份推荐信说：“我曾亲眼目睹该申请者临场自如应对高难度诘问，深深震撼了在场的所有人。” 这样就等于同一个精彩故事，第一人称说一遍，第三人称再讲一遍，不同角度，就像多机位跟进报道，给人满满的真实感。

2. 推荐信之间的平行呼应。推荐信一般是 2-3 封，如果这几封推荐信之间能形成互文，那自然是最完美不过了。例如第一封推荐信由公司老总讲述该申请者在股东大会现场应对自如的情节，强调了申请者的临场应变能力；第二封推荐信由一枚教授讲述了该申请者在实验室里重新捕捉回走丢小白鼠的例子。几封推荐信就像“众星拱月”一样，共同论证了申请者临场应变的能力，是不是顿时感觉可信度增加了！

最后说一下，申请者如果找上级或长辈写推荐信，其实很多时候是可以 Negotiate 。例如在美国，如果与鬼佬教授关系相处的好，他会很 nice 地主动问你：我在推荐信中需要特别强调些什么吗？或者你有什么特别的点需要我写进去吗？等等。这种时候，你就可以从整套文书（PS、RL、CV）的相互呼应来设计具体情节了。例如你想要教授呼应你 PS 中的哪一点就可以直接跟推荐人说了。当然这是比较乐观的情况，有些鬼佬推荐人很严谨，Ta答应为你写推荐信，但不爱与你商量 —— Ta是推荐人 Ta 爱自己做主！



所以，选推荐人也是很值得琢磨的一件事。好推荐人能使鬼推磨！
