Letters of Recommendation
If you are asking me for a letter of recommendation, please give me as much advance notice as possible. Also, it helps if you give me as much information as possible too (see: https://math.stanford.edu/~vakil/recommendations.html). In particular, it would help immensely if I had as much of the following as possible:
- Your CV/Resume
- Program you are applying for/to (or reason you need this)
- How I should submit the recommendation
- (optional) things you want me to emphasize
- When you need the letter by (which might possibly be different than the deadline)
- Any extra information
In general, I will need at least 2 weeks to write a letter.
