Important points to include in Letter of Recommendation

[psychapplicant21]

I would be grateful if anyone could share what the main points are to include in a letter of recommendation for Clinical Psychology PhD programs?

Every program is different and list different expectations of the recommendation letter. What seems to be a general understanding is that there should be 3 recommenders on your behalf, with two of them being faculty members (PhD level). They should be able to speak on your academic, research, and clinical experiences if you have any. 

 

This is not something that you will be submitting, but something that those recommenders will submit on your behalf.
