To get strong letters of recommendation (LORs) for a master's application in the UAE, follow these key steps:

- Choose recommenders who know your academic or professional work well, such as professors, academic advisors, or supervisors.
- Request LORs early - at least 6-8 weeks before your application deadline, so your recommenders have enough time.
- Provide your resume, statement of purpose, and program details to help them write a focused letter tailored to your goals.
- Share submission instructions (deadlines, formats) as required by the university.
- Thank your recommenders after they submit the letter.

If you need help with this process, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance.
