Scholarship / Reference letter for scholarship; to whom want to study about international public health [5]
I was wondering if you were instructed to answer the questions in question and answer form? Are you sure that these questions are not to be answered in a continuously flowing paragraph format known as an essay? You did say this is supposed to be a reference letter right? Somehow the format that you used for the letter is all wrong. You need to change the format to letter format instead of question and answer. Until I find out if you should have this in essay form, I will consider the Q&A format to be the requirement and review / revise your answers in the same format. I trust that you know how to convert the Q&A answers into essay form if necessary :)
-I was the supervisor of XXX for one year. Under my supervision, she worked towards the improvement of health problems... Her approach to problem analysis... She has accumulated a vast amount of knowledge and clinical experience both in the field and in a hospital setting. I am sure that her advanced graduate school studies will assist her in gaining more knowledge regarding her chosen profession. I know that when combined with her already existing knowledge and experience, she will be one of the best in her field.
- The answer to this question should relate to your work experience and how the person referring you believes that you have the potential to succeed and acquit yourself well in your chosen profession in the near future. The answer that was provided does not totally answer the prompt.
- The question is asking how your past academic experience relates to your interest in graduate studies. It is not asking about your practical or hands on experience.
- If the reference writer is a person you closely worked with, then the answer to this should be reflected in his or her observations of you as a worker. The answer must highlight your accomplishments as a worker and leader. How do you treat the patients? Do you go out of your way to make sure they are comfortable? What example of leadership can she mention about you? That is what this letter requires as an answer.
I hope you can clarify the format requirement for this letter before you revise it. It will be best if you have the actual letter already written when you post it for review. That way the reasons behind the guide questions will become more evident and easy to identify within the letter.
