Writing a Letter of Recommendation for Myself Anonymous 2017-09-16 02:46:12 Post No. 18727896 [Report]

So I'm applying for a grant/scholarship for graduate school and one of my previous professors is willing to "write" me a letter, but she wants me to write the letter myself and then she will edit it accordingly.

How do I write a letter of recommendation for myself? My relationship with the professor isn't extraordinary by any means. I had her for two semesters and was only at her office hours a few times. She knows who I am because I was asking more questions than other students, but that's it. I got B's in both of her classes and I'm not in the position to receive a letter from someone who will actually write it entirely.

Any help is appreciated, I'm looking to keep this as general as possible.

Okay, just write whatever grant/scholarship board wants to hear, modify it a bit to suit yourself and give that letter to be signed by her. That's how you deal with it. /thread.

That's kind of where I'm struggling. I know what they want to hear but then it may not be entirely truthful. I have to assume my professor will disagree to sign off on bullshit since her name is on it.

Can you frame your experience and your presentation in what the grant/scholarship want to hear ?

Think about yourself from her perspective and write that. Mention "active participation" and "motivated to learn" based off your asking questions for example. Another example could be "self-directed" for not needing much help at office hours.

Just take what you did and make it sound positive and professional.
