Letter of Recommendation
at
I am a computer science student applying for PhD program at MIT, EECS. I would like to request an LOR from Dr P V Nageshwar Rao, Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, GITAM University.
He was professor and head of department when I was studying at the university.
I did draft a version of the LOR myself but I am not satisfied with the outcome. I would like to have it written professionally, highlighting my experience, my skills and how the university benefitted from it.
I am attaching my resume and a draft version of LOR I wrote. It is more a perspective on my side.
Sample Solution
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to offer my strong recommendation for Mr. XYZ, one of my former students in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at GITAM University.
Mr. XYZ was an exemplary student during his time within the department, consistently achieving academically while also contributing diverse perspectives to our learning environment. He demonstrated a well-rounded mastery of computer science practices and applied himself with enthusiasm whenever given a task or problem to solve. Notably, he completed all course requirements ahead of schedule and even developed several small applications as part of his individual research projects which have been used by other students in our program since then.
Off campus, Mr. XYZ excelled as well – participating in both local and international conferences on technology-related topics where he showcased how existing technologies could be improved upon or better utilized for various purposes such as online security or social media outreach strategies. His efforts were not only noticed but rewarded with several awards from prestigious institutions over the years including MIT EECS where he is currently applying for a PhD program in computer science..
Overall it has been a pleasure having Mr. XYZ among us during his academic tenure here at GITAM University; I have no doubt that if accepted into the PhD program at MIT EECS he will make an excellent addition to their team due to his skill sets but moreover due to his passion for continuing education along with making meaningful contributions towards advancing computer science knowledge on an ever-evolving field like this one.
