Graduate School Recommendation Letter (MS/PhD)
For professors, PIs, and employers reviewing a recommendation letter before it goes out - and for candidates asked to draft their own.
Narrative recommendation letters for MS, PhD, and LSAC-routed law applications, written by a professor, PI, or employer - or drafted by the candidate at the recommender's request. Reviews the letter's evidence, comparisons, and endorsement; portal rating grids and checkbox forms are not reviewable prose and are out of scope.
