Useful information for us includes (but is not limited to) the student's potential for a physics career, any unusual features of your school's grading system, and reasons the student's grades might not accurately represent his or her ability. Comments on the student's personality and working style can also help match the student with an appropriate project and advisor.

We very strongly prefer that you upload the letter directly to our electronic system. You should receive an e-mail with instructions once the student has submitted an application.
