Please use this form to recommend an outstanding candidate to Hamilton College. While all letters of recommendation will be attached to applicants’ records, those that arrive by December 1 (for Early Decision 1 candidates), January 15 (for Early Decision 2 candidates), and February 1 (for Regular Decision) stand a better chance of being carefully considered by the admission committee.
We have two recommendation forms you can use. One is reserved for alumni, parents, and members of the Hamilton College Community. The other is for everyone else. Please choose one of the following options so that you can be directed to the appropriate recommendation form:
I am an alum, parent, or member of the Hamilton College Community
I am not an alum, parent, or member of the Hamilton College Community
