Recommendation Letter: Current letters of recommendation: You must submit email addresses for at least three recommenders far enough in advance of the deadline so that their letters can be uploaded by December 1. Your recommender will be contacted directly by UNC and given a link to upload their letter to your file.Please consider sharing the information below with those who are submitting letters of recommendation on your behalf: The most effective references come from faculty with whom you have conducted independent/original research. Letters jointly written by faculty with senior lab members (e.g. postdoctoral scientists, staff, senior graduate students) are welcome if they provide greater insight into your accomplishments and potential as a scientist. Letters from only senior lab members without a faculty letter have much less impact. Admissions committees greatly value letters that specifically describe qualities such as motivation, work ethic, resilience, persistence, initiative, intellectual contribution, and collegiality in research and academic settings.
