What are the applicant’s primary strengths and weaknesses? If possible, please describe specific instances or accomplishments that
demonstrate them. Describe the applicant’s current assignment and special responsibilities, if applicable.
One of Giovanna's most notable characteristics is her tireless determination to pursue academic excellence.
She excelled in all assessments and conclusive tests, consistently achieving top marks. Her exemplary work
ethic and ability to absorb and apply knowledge quickly set her apart as one of the best students I have ever had
the opportunity to teach. In addition to her notable achievements, Giovanna has also demonstrated admirable
growth in terms of confidence and communication skills. Although she was initially shy, she evolved over time,
becoming more active in classroom discussions and participating in projects that required leadership and collaboration.
Please assess the applicant in the following areas:
a. Area of specialization (technical knowledge, analytical ability, attention to detail, etc.)
b. Potential for achievement in graduate study
c. Potential for professional achievement
I had the pleasure of being Giovanna's teacher during these two years, and throughout this period, she left a lasting impression on me.
From the beginning, Giovanna demonstrated a remarkable level of focus and attention to details in the classroom. Her collaborative nature and
interpersonal skills have made her a valuable addition to our class first and foremost and the school itself. I feel confident in
recommending Giovanna for admission to the forensics science/biology degree program at your prestigious
university. She is an exceptionally talented, motivated and dedicated student who is sure to contribute significantly
to the academic community and make the most of the learning opportunities her institution offers.
