Recommendation Letter Guidance —
Give Your Recommenders What They Need
Help preparing the materials and context your recommenders need to write specific, strong letters — without ever writing the letter for them.
What We Help You Prepare
Recommenders write stronger letters when they're given the right material, not a blank request. A one-page brag sheet summarizing your relevant achievements makes an enormous difference to what they can write.
The request itself matters too — a respectful, clear ask that makes it easy for your recommender to say yes and know exactly what to include, tied to what your target program is actually looking for.
Edufly helps you build all of this, then tracks the process through to confirmed submission, so nothing falls through right before your deadline.
- A one-page brag sheet summarizing your relevant achievements
- Context on each program's specific expectations for the letter
- A polite, clear request template you can adapt for each recommender
- A tracking sheet so you know the status of every letter
We prepare materials and language, but the relationship and the letter itself must stay yours and your recommender's.
