February is not unendurably late for most of the Dutch universities. Nevertheless, you'd better send out your application asap, since most schools give strong preferences to early birds.
Personal reference doesn't necessarily have to come from professors (may vary depending on specific requirements of given schools). Obviously, however, recommendations from prestigious professors do work efficiently in assessment of your profile, provided that you can convince the admission committee of the acquaintance between you and your recommender.
Most applicants may have the misconcept that the higher the position of their referencer, the more persuasive the recommendation is. The truth is that most admission committee members want to see a recommendation letter which gives an objective valuation of the applicant, instead one full of compliments. A lot of Chinese may write recommendation letters by themselves and ask signature from the recommender. Just remember one thing before you set out to do so - flattery or beautiful words will get you nowhere. Use concrete examples rather than hollow adjectives.
Besides, you'd better seek one reference from academy and another from industry.
I won't suggest you apply for many schools. In fact, admissions from Dutch law schools don't appear so difficult to be obtained.
Hope it helps and good luck. |
