What documents are required for the application, specifically about Letters of Recommendation (LORs) in Australia/USA for a Master's?
Yes, Letters of Recommendation (LORs) are typically required for both undergraduate applications to Australia and master's applications to the USA.
- Australia (Undergraduate): Most universities ask for 1-2 LORs. Competitive programs may require 2 or more. LORs should be from teachers or school counselors who know your academic strengths.
- USA (Master’s): Most programs require 2-3 LORs. These should be from professors or academic advisors familiar with your academic work. If you have relevant experience, a supervisor can also write a letter.
LORs are usually submitted electronically through the university’s application portal. Requirements and deadlines are subject to change, so ensure your recommenders are prepared in advance. For your profile, prioritize academic recommenders who can speak to your achievements and potential.
