Recommendation Rating

Recommendation letters will be rated on a scale of 0-5 points as a whole. Evaluators will base these ratings on the overall impression of the student as given by the reference. As stated in the Application Procedures, the ATP at Washington State University is seeking students with a commitment to learning and dedication to service and who are willing to embrace the challenges, curriculum and clinical experiences with professionalism, enthusiasm and a positive attitude. References that speak to a student’s potential to be successful in the program in these ways will be most beneficial for the acceptance of that student.
