Portfolio Graduate School

Description

The Graduate School section of the portfolio will contain the following documents: -Results of a search for appropriate graduate programs that yielded at least three possible programs and a brief report that explains why each of these programs is appropriate for you based on your immediate and long-term career and life goals as described in the first section of this portfolio. -A professional appearing personal statement that can be modified for specific graduate programs (See attached for information regarding career path I’m choosing to pursue) -One Completed letter-of-recommendation request-form for graduate school. This letter will be used as a template for such a letter if you need to ask for a recommendation later. Consider it a form letter. In the letter you will be asking a professor if they would recommend you for graduate school, some professional training program or certification program, or for employment. You decide which kind of letter you need or that would be of most benefit to you right now. -Choose a program from your search. You only need to complete one letter for this assignment -Provide your complete name (and nickname if the professor knows you by that), along with your email address, and complete mailing address. -Be sure to include the name of the program (along with the school, etc) for which you are applying. -And let the professor know the date the recommendation is due. -You should let the professor know what classes you have taken with them, in what year and semester, your grade, and anything you did in the class that you would like to point out, i.e., maybe a paper, or you led a discussion on some topic of interest, or perhaps something you really enjoyed about the class. -Let the professor know your area of interest and why you are interested in this, i.e., your goals, future plans, etc. (See below Supplemental Information) -Let your professor know your current status, and planned date of graduation.
