Sample Recommendation Letter

For Graduate School


Address, City, ST, Zip | Phone # | email address

February 21st, 2018

Office of Graduate Admissions


University of Iceland
123 College Address
Reykjavik, Iceland, 05758

Dear Graduate Admissions Committee,

It is my great pleasure to recommend Joyce Chow for admission to the University of


Iceland’s master’s program in Viking and Medieval Norse Studies. I got to know Joyce
as her Anglo-Saxon studies professor at the University of South Carolina. During that
time, I was thoroughly impressed by Joyce’s commitment to understanding and
exploring the hidden depths of Anglo-Saxon culture and literature.

While taking my Scandinavian literature course, Joyce demonstrated an extraordinary


interest and ability to analyze classic Icelandic sagas. Her final paper on the
Bandamanna Saga was already on a level that would usually only be expected from a
master’s student. In it she analyzed the Christian themes of Saga and explored how
they relate to the current perception of Christianity in modern day Iceland.

In addition to Joyce’s exceptional academic accomplishments with regards to Nordic


studies as an undergraduate, her selflessness and commitment to helping the less
fortunate made her an outstanding member of the University of South Carolina’s
community. As a member of habitat for humanity she provided invaluable tutelage and
mentorship to countless underprivileged children.

It is my strong opinion that Joyce would be a tremendous addition to the University of


Iceland’s Viking and Medieval Norse Studies graduate program, and she has my
highest recommendation. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
regarding her character or past academic work.

Sincerely,

Your Signature
Marcus R. Winfield
Professor of Anglo-Saxon Studies
University of South Carolina
