<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">A quick note – you will need two letters of recommendation from faculty as part of the application. If you are concerned that a faculty member may not know or remember you – reach out to them! Remind them
of what course(s) you took with them, how you did in that course, what you enjoyed/learned from the course (and History in general), your goals, and any other information you feel might help them write a good letter of recommendation for you. If you’re feeling
nervous, use this as good (and low risk, potential high reward!) practice for advocating for yourself and networking!
