摘要

Accounting faculty members are often asked to provide letters of recommendation to support graduate school applications for their current and former students. Students may need coaching on how and when to ask for letters, what information to provide, and how to follow up on their requests. This paper provides advice that can be given to students to help them understand the process to facilitate getting better letters, thus improving their chances of being admitted to the desired program.
