the recommendation on official letterhead and signing it. All applicants should submit a minimum of two letters of

recommendation. PhD applicants are required to submit three letters of recommendation; otherwise, their applications

will not be processed. Scanned copies of the original signed recommendation letters are acceptable for

admission processing purposes only if forwarded to gradadm@aucegypt.edu by the evaluators, and must

include the applicant’s AUC ID number. Original letters should be sent to either address listed below and

directed to the attention of the Office of Graduate Admissions.

To the applicant: Please fill out this section only; do not write below the horizontal line. For your application to

be complete, it must include a minimum of two letters of recommendation. Therefore, carefully select two people who

are quite familiar with your academic or professional background and give them a copy of this form. The University

will accept letters of recommendation that are submitted by students with their application, but only if the envelope is

sealed and has been signed across the flap by the evaluator.

In accordance with the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Buckley Amendment), you have the

right to review and inspect your educational records. If you choose, you may waive the right to see specific confidential

statements and letters of evaluation. Therefore, please check one of the statements below and sign.

To the evaluator: You must use the back of this form or official letterhead to write about your

experiences with the applicant and his or her potential to perform at the graduate level in the program(s)

indicated at the top of this form. This form is submitted to you for an opinion of the applicant’s qualifications

for graduate work and should include the applicant’s points of strength and what needs to be improved, if any.

Please be as candid as possible, since it is often impossible for AUC to interview all potential graduate students. Your

evaluation of the student’s academic performance, research capabilities and overall ability at the graduate level based

on past performance is a critical element of our selection process. It would also be very helpful if you could rank the

candidate in terms of all the students you have had in the past. This evaluation must be signed and must include the

applicant’s full name and AUC ID number before it is given to the applicant in a sealed envelope with the evaluator’s

signature across the flap.
