Hi everyone, my science professor has a huge class and has asked me to find him some strong templates to write a letter of recommendation. I was wondering if you guys knew of any science faculty samples or had sample I could give to him? Thanks again and sorry if this has been brought up in a previous thread.

I unfortunately do not have anything constructive to offer in terms of an answer to your request. But do you really think a template letter is what you're looking for? Isn't there someone who knows you well enough to write something more personal? Just a suggestion because the latter would certainly be stronger.

AMCAS has a primer for letter writers.

Rather generic advise here but it's probably applicable if your professor really asked you this; the rec letter's that make a difference difference do two really basic things a) they are specific b) they find a way of putting in perspective your strengths; that is "ranking" them based on what your professor has seen their entire carer. It's not just Student X has the third highest grade. There are many other things a professor can cite that make you unique and really stand out to them in their entire career. If you emphasize the importance of that in a rec letter, and not generic platitudes, things that can be looked up in other parts of your applicationor a description of the class as opposed to a description of you(a rather common thing amongst many rather lukewarm letters) it will help you immensely.

Google is your friend. You can find many templates online. However, it might behoove you to ask someone who can actually write a letter for you.
