Hello,
I just graduated from my undergraduate studies at the university of michigan and I am now in the process of applying for a MA program in human rights. My question is when applying to a few programs, what is the best way to get duplicate reccoomendations. In other words, if I have two professors I want use to get reccomendations from, how do you send these reccomendations to multiple universities since each university usually has their own reccomendation forms. Any help will be greatly apprecated!! Thanks

hi, i had same situation , i wanted to apply to more than one university, so i asked my referees to write the reference in white A4 paper , giving information about my ability ....... in other words i didnot use the uni recommendation form , the result was the universities which i applied to did not bother from not using their forms,its was fine for them .
i hope that help you

the same here, I just sent the A4 papers. they accepted it.

Thanks for the responses. By the way, what is A4 papter?

Thanks.

hi, A4 paper= the paper we use it in printing by printer which is connected to computer

a4 is a standard paper format (in europe), the size is about
297 mm x 210 mm = 11.7'' x 8.3'' =842 pt x 595 pt
see http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html

Hi there!

I didnt sent at all the forms, I asked from my professors letters of recommendation, printed 10 times and signed. Each one has his/her own sample and works on it.

The point is: anyone knows for sure if Unis are valuing diferently these A4 reccomendations from their own official forms?

Best,
Ruben

Hi there,

I let my professors write recommendations on normal paper, too (it really doesn't matter if you take the - I think European or even German - A4 format or US letter format!), with their respective letterhead. Seemed to be fine with King's and Nottingham Trent, for example, so I guess it should be good enough for the others as well ;-)

Cheers
