Dear Admissions Committee,

I am honored to recommend Ms. Xiao Xiao for your graduate program in electrical engineering. I came to know Ms. Xiao in March of 2000 when she enrolled in my class on dielectric physics in the Electrical Engineering Department at ABC University. With an enchanting demeanor, inquisitive nature, and solid academic performance, Ms. Xiao quickly became one of my most outstanding students. She stayed after class each day to discuss with me complex topics I had brought up during lecture. Though I tried to challenge all my students to go beyond the scope of the class, Ms. Xiao was the only one who displayed a genuine dedication to enhancing her own knowledge of dielectric physics and other related topics. During our discussions, Ms. Xiao expressed her desire to attend a graduate program in electrical engineering and how she plans to use that intense educational experience to advance in a professional, scientifically-oriented career. Ms. Xiao earned a final grade of 80%, one of the highest scores in the entire class. Having witnessed such a strong classroom performance, I know that Ms. Xiao is well prepared to study at your prestigious university.

Because of her impressive academic work and honorable character, I am please to give Ms. Xiao Xiao my highest recommendation for your esteemed graduate program in electrical engineering.

Sincerely,

Dear Admissions Committee,

As Director of the State Key Laboratory of Electrical Insulation at ABC University in BLANK, China, it is my sincere and distinct pleasure to recommend Ms. Xiao Xiao for your graduate program in BLANK.

I have known Ms. Xiao since 2001, when she was one of eighty students who completed their undergraduate thesis projects in my BLANK laboratory. Ms. Juan’s enthusiasm for and diligence in learning helped her become one of the most outstanding students in the entire group, making a strong, positive impression upon me. Ms. Xiao is a very driven woman and student who knows what she wants to accomplish and does not falter in her chosen path. Her intellectual curiosity and desire to acquire new acknowledge continuously have led her to perform much study on her own outside the scope of her classes and research work; oftentimes, I witnessed her consulting scientific books and journals to help her discover how she could improve her knowledge and her work in the laboratory. Countless times, Ms. Xiao remained in the laboratory for more than twelve hours in a row to complete her work and make sure there were no errors. With such devotion and fortitude, Ms. Xiao did not surprise me with her superior performance on her thesis paper. In terms of her character, Ms. Xiao is an amiable, courteous, and helpful young woman who has many friends amongst our laboratory personnel.

Ms. Xiao is ready to move on to a more rigorous program of graduate study. Her academic performance, research work, and upstanding personal character have won her my highest recommendation, and I hope you give her application strong consideration. Thank you.

Sincerely,
