nsc Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Hi, I am apply to computer science/engineering graduate program. I have not got three recommendation letters up to now. Can anyone recommend some graduate programs that require two letters, or none at all? The more such MS cs programs, the better. Thanks!
Warelin Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) I can't think of any reputable programs in the United States or Canada that accept less than three recommendation letters. Outside of North America, I think University of Helskini (in Finland) doesn't require any letters of recommendations. Edited October 16, 2016 by Warelin rockstar090 1
swannsway Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 You should probably call your desired department and ask but it seems like Northwestern requires a minimum of 2 letters. http://www.tgs.northwestern.edu/admission/application-requirements/letters-of-recommendation.html I'm sure there must be other schools where MS programs require less than 3. rockstar090 1

TakeruK Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 For schools that require three, I suggest you find any professor with any link to you who is willing to write a letter. It doesn't have to be that good, because not having that third letter will likely get your application auto-rejected, so a mediocre letter is better than nothing.
