想申請麻省理工的同學看過來，MIT申請推薦信示例！

由于MIT的申請人群體競爭的激烈性，推薦信在我們決定是否錄取占有重要地位。一封成功的推薦信能起到的效果，遠遠超越申請者的自我宣傳。

學校的升學指導和任課老師撰寫的具體且有故事性的推薦信對申請者而言是最有幫助的。他們應該向招生官提供一些無法從其他申請材料中獲取的信息。嘗試撰寫出學生的完整的成就，盡可能用事實和軼事支持推薦信的結論。

請特別注意推薦信的開篇和結尾。請記住，以MIT的招生官為例，每年至少需要閱讀超過 20,000 份申請，推薦信需要用推薦人自己覺得舒服的方式寫作，不要退避真實情況。推薦信最好有示例支持并為招生官提供背景，例如學生成績的背后是什么。而不是只談學生的成績，因為招生官通過其他途徑也可以知道學生的成績信息。另外，推薦信在 MIT 錄取過程中都是保密的。

讓我們來看幾封推薦信示例：

1.Teacher recommendation for David:

It is a great pleasure for me to recommend David for admission to MIT. He is one of the most extraordinary students I have encountered in 20 years of teaching. I taught David A.P. Calculus last year as a tenth grader, and he was one of the very top students in an extremely able group of mostly seniors. He has a high aptitude for math and was very much involved in his work, applying himself with persistence and dedication and often going beyond the regular class assignments.

David’s abiding interest, however, is computer science. He has developed a series of “strands” for use in providing computerized drill and review in the basic skills and techniques of algebra and arithmetic and has recently adapted these to other subjects. David’s work in this area has been so original and significant that he has published a paper on it and delivered several lectures to professionals in other parts of the country. This is a phenomenal accomplishment for anyone, especially a young man in rural Arkansas. It is also worth noting that both last year and this year David taught computer programming to a tenth-grade class of mine for two weeks. He took over completely, preparing lectures, assignments, and tests with great care and thought. His lectures were clear and well organized, and it was obvious that he had expended a great deal of effort to make the course the success that it was.

David’s personal qualities are as impressive as his intellectual accomplishments. An extremely kind, sensitive and sensible boy, he has had a difficult family situation for a few years now. He provides emotional support to his mother through her battle with cancer without allowing the situation to undermine his own stability and accomplishments. He has exhausted all that we have to offer him in this small community, and the maturity that he has demonstrated leads me to believe him capable of entering college a year early, as he now plans to do. I sincerely hope that you will be able to offer him a place in MIT’s freshman class.

點評：太棒了！這個推薦充分體現了推薦人對學生的了解。我們不僅對David的學術能力有清晰的認識，而且對他的情感成熟度也有清晰的認識。他對計算機編程的真正熱愛體現在這位老師的描述中。我們還意識到，他正在突破自己學術的界限，在社區積極為自己創作更多學習機會，這一寶貴特質正是大學招生老師所尋找的！

2.Teacher recommendation for Jen:

Jen was a student in one of my predominately senior physics classes. She took physics her junior year in high school and was a good student. Through hard work, she was able to develop a good understanding of the subject material.

Jen also had personal qualities that are commendable. In the two years that I have known her I have never known her to be dishonest or untrustworthy. Once on an exam paper I had made a grading error in her favor. She brought this to my attention even though it resulted in a lower test grade.

In conclusion, I feel that Jen has both the academic and personal qualities to be a credit to the college of her choice, and I give her my recommendation without reservation.

點評：我們每年都會收到數千條這樣的推薦信。這一切都是積極的，但它并沒有給候選人任何真正的深度。在這種情況下，讀者會覺得作者在竭盡腦汁寫點什么。推薦信中提到的“學生誠實守信”，這當然是令人欽佩的品質，但在全國頂尖大學申請者中并不少見。我們正在尋找一個令人信服的理由來錄取學生，因此關于課程本身的信息提供對學生的錄取并沒有幫助。雖然 Jen 可能是一個勤奮的人，但我們的大多數申請人都是。盡管全篇推薦信都是積極的，但很難抓住任何切實的東西來使這位候選人的申請更有說服力。這種淡淡的贊美是刻意的嗎？與學校的其他（更優秀的？）候選人相比，Jen 的表現如何？
