How should you ask for a letter of recommendation for grad school?

When asking for a letter of recommendation for grad school, offer to make the process as easy as possible for your potential recommender by:

Giving them suggestions for the content of the letter of recommendation (e.g., sentences including relevant examples of projects and research you’ve worked on that your potential recommender was involved in)
Providing them with all the background information they need (e.g., details of the programs you’re are applying to)

Ask for a strong recommendation to communicate that they should say no if they can only write you a weak or generic letter.
