Dear Mr. Jonathan, College Admission Committee

I have known Cherry Blossom for the past 3 years, having served as both her lecturer and academic advisor at Edinburgh University. I believe Cherry would be an excellent addition to Oxford University.

While as a student at Edinburgh University, Cherry is a persevere and clever student in the class, she also always challenge herself academically. She is an active participant in the class discussion and being able to understand the material quickly. In every project and assignment that she did, she always did it well, always hand it on time, and never postpone it. So, no wonder why she got the cum laude predicate and becomes the youngest and best graduate in the Edinburgh Graduation Class of 2018.

Besides academic things, she has also been actively joined extracurricular, such as Chess, and she always joined the chess tournament that was held by other colleges, and she won a gold medal several times. Her genius side and her ability in doing both academic and non-academic things reflect her skills and abilities to continue a master’s degree at Oxford University.

I believe that Cherry will bring so much to your College, both inside or outside the classroom. She will be a pride to Oxford University. I think that is all that I know about her so far. If you have any questions regarding Cherry’s qualification, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 454-323-9999 or Jennie.carl@mail.com.

 

Warm Regards,

 

 

Jennie Carl

Lecturer and Student Academic Advisor

Edinburgh University

 

That is all about the character reference letter that you can use to describe someone’s traits to help them apply to the college, thus it makes the college that she is applied to understand more about her skill, abilities, and achievement.
