Is it possible to get a LOR through an internship or research internship?

Yes, you can get a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) from an internship or research internship, and it is highly valued for study abroad applications.

A strong LOR should come from a supervisor or mentor who directly oversaw your work and can speak to your technical skills, teamwork, problem-solving, and contributions during the internship. The recommender’s position and reputation can add credibility.

To secure an effective LOR, choose someone who knows your work well, provide them with relevant details about your role and achievements, and request the letter well before your application deadline.
