uofthopeful07 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 i was just wondering if they wanted our 'GENERAL' approach to choosing our referees...what we were looking for in them. or is it okay to actually go into why i chose person x, and why i chose person y.... etc. ?

Kuantum Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I find that to be a very difficult question and I am still trying to figure out what it might be getting at and the inspiration to obtain an answer worthy of what I'd want to express.

peachy Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I wrote specifically about why I chose each reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WabbaJ Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 i did the same as peachy. try to mention the diff characteristics each can evaluate on. ex: a teacher knows you academic-wise and how you got the head to deal with med school study a researcher supervisor knows you can work in a demanding environment independently or as a team and you get along well with others a volunteer supervisor can comment on your ingrety and character and dedication etc. these are just different descriptions you can tag onto each referee to what they can say about you. try to get as many different characteristics that admiss committees look for and associate it with a referee. just try it, see if it works. maybe i'm doing this damn wrong, but just trying to help.

coleflower Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 If you work it right, this question is another chance to outline your best characteristics. It has to be well writtent to fit in the character limit though. I wrote about each individually and the circumstances that we knew each other.

Kuantum Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I ended up discussing what each referee could evaluate about me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
