Sample Letter of Recommendation for a College Applicant

To Whom It May Concern:

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jodi Sharp for the last four years. We first met when she became a student in my freshman English class. I later came to know her even better as we worked together to begin a high school debate team within the school.

Jodi's enthusiasm and charisma played a major role in the development of the debate team. She was able to successfully recruit members and constantly pushed them to be the best. As a result, the school's debate team managed to win both a regional and state title two years running.

As a teacher and a member of the academic community, I have found it very satisfying to watch Jodi mature to acquire an increased interest and aptitude in both academics and debate. She is a serious student and constantly impresses me with her ability to demonstrate great leadership potential among her peers.

It is my honor and privilege to recommend Jodi Sharp for your undergraduate program. I have no doubt that she would prove to be a significant asset to your school.

Sincerely,

John B. Goodman
