Letters of Recommendation

Although there are no requirements as to who you ask to write your reference letters, choose the following format to maximize your application's credibility:

1 from an educator (university professor)
1 from an employer (lab supervisor, job manager)
1 from a respected member of the community (volunteer supervisor)

HOWEVER it is much more important that the people who write your reference letters know you well and for more than a few months. This is by far the most important consideration. Once this is fulfilled, then follow the recommendation above.
