LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

Letters of recommendation are a critical component of the admissions process for the graduate school applicants.
VaYU wants letters from individuals who are in a position to judge the student’s ability to be successful in their programs, which includes academic capabilities and accomplishments, but also personal characteristics and skills.

The recommender (LOR 1) was/is my: *

The recommender should be a person who can assess you professionally as a student, co-worker or employee.
A recommender should not be a relative or family member.

Do you waive the right to inspect the contents of the following recommendation? (LOR 1) *

Yes (recommended)
No

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and its amendments provides students with the right to request in writing the opportunity to inspect and review their educational records. Students may, however, waive their right of access to recommendations. The choice of the applicant regarding this recommendation is to be indicated below. Failure to sign will constitute acceptance of limited access.

IMPORTANCE OF CONFIDENTIALITY:
Although students may retain their FERPA access rights to letters of recommendation that are submitted to Post Graduate Planning and Experiential Education, it is strongly encouraged that letters be submitted confidentially by having the student waive such rights. Selection committees tend to view confidential letters as having greater credibility and assign them greater weight. They place less value in letters that the applicant has seen, as it is assumed that the author is less forthcoming than if the reference is confidential. Not only can this be true in regards to letter-writers withholding potential concerns, but some authors feel less inhibited in their praise of students in confidential letters. Furthermore, many admissions officers have stated that they find a confidential letter a display of confidence on the part of the applicant.
