Recommendations for Student Applicants
We use an all electronic recommendation submission system.
If a student has asked us to contact you for a recommendation, you will receive an email message almost immediately after they submit their application. A URL in the message will tell you where you need to go to submit your recommendation. If you have not been contacted within 4 hours of a student submitting their application, please contact us by email, or if necessary telephone.
Remember to Check Your SPAM Folder!
Unfortunately, short email messages containing URLs appear to stand a much higher chance of being classified as SPAM. Before contacting us about missing recommendation requests, please check your SPAM folder. The subject of the message will be “Request for Recommendation for ” followed by the name of the student. Note that in the last five years, every time a recommender has written to us claiming that they did not get a request for a recommendation, further investigation has almost always revealed that the message arrived safely but was then misclassified as SPAM. In the remaining cases, the applicant entered the wrong email address.
