Recommendations from family and friends are not acceptable. First semester university students may provide a recommendation letter from the High School teacher. ATTENTION: Both recommendations have to be written not earlier than in 2020. It is the applicant’s responsibility to make sure that recommendations are received on time. Thus, we strongly recommend asking for recommendations early . Without them your application will be incomplete. If the recommending person prefers to send his or her recommendation to the LF directly, there is a specific section in the application form that provides directions on how to do so.
