想申请麻省理工的同学看过来，MIT申请推荐信示例！

由于MIT的申请人群体竞争的激烈性，推荐信在我们决定是否录取占有重要地位。一封成功的推荐信能起到的效果，远远超越申请者的自我宣传。

学校的升学指导和任课老师撰写的具体且有故事性的推荐信对申请者而言是最有帮助的。他们应该向招生官提供一些无法从其他申请材料中获取的信息。尝试撰写出学生的完整的成就，尽可能用事实和轶事支持推荐信的结论。

请特别注意推荐信的开篇和结尾。请记住，以MIT的招生官为例，每年至少需要阅读超过 20,000 份申请，推荐信需要用推荐人自己觉得舒服的方式写作，不要退避真实情况。推荐信最好有示例支持并为招生官提供背景，例如学生成绩的背后是什么。而不是只谈学生的成绩，因为招生官通过其他途径也可以知道学生的成绩信息。另外，推荐信在 MIT 录取过程中都是保密的。

让我们来看几封推荐信示例：

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.

点评：太棒了！这个推荐充分体现了推荐人对学生的了解。我们不仅对David的学术能力有清晰的认识，而且对他的情感成熟度也有清晰的认识。他对计算机编程的真正热爱体现在这位老师的描述中。我们还意识到，他正在突破自己学术的界限，在社区积极为自己创作更多学习机会，这一宝贵特质正是大学招生老师所寻找的！

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.

点评：我们每年都会收到数千条这样的推荐信。这一切都是积极的，但它并没有给候选人任何真正的深度。在这种情况下，读者会觉得作者在竭尽脑汁写点什么。推荐信中提到的“学生诚实守信”，这当然是令人钦佩的品质，但在全国顶尖大学申请者中并不少见。我们正在寻找一个令人信服的理由来录取学生，因此关于课程本身的信息提供对学生的录取并没有帮助。虽然 Jen 可能是一个勤奋的人，但我们的大多数申请人都是。尽管全篇推荐信都是积极的，但很难抓住任何切实的东西来使这位候选人的申请更有说服力。这种淡淡的赞美是刻意的吗？与学校的其他（更优秀的？）候选人相比，Jen 的表现如何？
