What is the most effective format of a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) for MS?

<p>A proper academic LOR should use a 5-paragraph structure:</p><ul><li><strong>Introduction</strong>: Set the recommender and the nature of his/her relationship with the student (e.g., professor-student, course taken, how long).</li><li><strong>Body Paragraph 1:</strong> Highlight academic skills through tangible examples—such as grades on coursework, research work, or assignments.</li><li><strong>Body Paragraph 2: </strong>Present technical skills like problem-solving mind, experiments in the lab, programming, etc., depending on the field.</li><li><strong>Body Paragraph 3</strong>: Describe qualities like leadership, communication, or teamwork.</li><li><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Summarize the student's strengths and highly recommend them for the sought program.</li></ul><p>This format makes the letter logical, comprehensive, and convincing.</p>
