Letters / Letter of recommendation for Scholarship - description of an applicant [2]
I'm going to apply for a scholarship, but my lecturer is too busy to write me a letter of recommendation so he told me to make it by myself. can you comment on this recommendation letter?
1.How long have you known the applicant and in what relationship?
As a lecturer, I have known her for 3 years since she became a 2nd semester student. "X" attended several subjects that I taught such as Fiber Testing Theory and practice, Research Methods, and Textile Quality Control. I am also a head of Textile Engineering Departement and an examiner during the field work practice seminar and her thesis defense.
2. What do you consider to be the applicant's strengths?
What impress me about "X" are her integrity, her hard working spirit, her desire to learn and her interpersonal skill. She is highly intelligent and has good analytical skills especially in terms of practice course. Her overall intelligence is also reflected in her grades for the course, which were by far the best in the class. When called upon to give her thesis defense in front of her peers, "X" spoke clearly and eloquently about her conclusions and responded to questions in a thoughtful way.
3.What do you consider to be the applicant's weaknesses?
"X" is an independent person. Sometimes she prefers to solve her own problems rather than ask for help to others. Nevertheless, she is a person who is always relied upon to whenever there is a group task. She may not has many friends because she thought it's better to have a few friend who have the same way of thinks with her, but she is a good leader in the group.
4. How well do you think the applicant has thought out plans for graduate study?
Since she was a student, she showed interest in becoming a Lecturer. She is often asked by her friends to teach them in preparation for the exam. Therefore, "X" has searched for information about the master program by actively asking the lecturers and often discussing it with me as well. She began to prepare herself and find a college that suited her interests, in accordance with her current majors and studied the curriculum of courses that she would take.
5. Please comment on the applicant's performance record, potential, or personal qualities which you believe would be helpful in considering the applicant's application for the proposed degree program.
She is one of the best students in the textile engineering department. She graduated with cum laude and was ranked fourth among all students majoring in textile engineering. This shows that she has a clear focus and purpose in her education. I am certain that "X" is going to continue to do great and creative things in her future. Beside that, she is an active organizers on campus and outside the campus. She also has the ability to communicate well so she was often asked to become an MC on various campus events. Overall, "X" is talented, caring, intuitive, dedicated, and focused in her pursuits. "X"'s endless curiosity, combined with her willingness to take risks, leads me to believe there will be no limit to her growth and achievements in graduate program and beyond.
