A recommender has to feel comfortable that they know enough about your practice, and that they can speak enthusiastically on your behalf. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make it easy for your recommender: provide a school list, a list of deadlines, and get all of your email requests from the schools to them as soon as you can. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s okay to follow up a letter a week before the deadline, it&#8217;s a good reminder for your recommender. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>However, don&#8217;t be demanding, or insist on things done in a specific way, or on a specific day. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Say thank you to your recommender!  We remember the people who don&#8217;t bother to say thank you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A letter of recommendation is not the same as a reference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A letter of recommendation is for degree program applications, and a few grants. (it&#8217;s not that common for a grant to require letters)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A reference is more for job applications, where they want your recommender&#8217;s contact information if they want to speak to them on the phone, or communicate via email. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you get permission from a recommender to put them down as a reference!  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"316\" src=\"https:\/\/artprofmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20241106180755\/Untitled-2.jpg\" alt=\"artist services\" class=\"wp-image-18503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artprofmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20241106180755\/Untitled-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/artprofmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20241106180755\/Untitled-2-200x158.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many MFA candidates struggle with how to get a letter of recommendation from for their graduate school application.
