LOR Help
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2012 6:33 pm
Here's my situation:
I have worked at a cafe for over 6 years. About a month and a half ago I asked my store manager if she would mind writing me a LOR, and she enthusiastically agreed to do so. Shortly after that, I took two weeks off of work right before the Oct. LSAT to focus 100% on studying. The day after the LSAT, I got a call from my manager, and she told me that she was moving to a new store (sort of a lateral promotion to a busier store) immediately and that she wanted to tell me herself before I heard it through the rumor mill. I wished her luck and that was that, so I was under the assumption that we ended on a good note.
I had originally asked her to submit the LOR by the end of October, which is tomorrow, and I haven't heard anything yet. I sent her a friendly reminder email about a week ago and got no response. 3 days later I sent her a text message (it's not weird, she's a big texter) asking her if she received my email - no response. I have since tried to call her once and left a message, but she still hasn't responded to anything, and I'm starting to freak out.
I have other LORs and evaluations that I can use for my apps instead, but I was just thinking that law schools might think it strange if I don't have anything from the place I've worked for 6+ years. Should I ask one of the supervisors to write something for me? Should I just forget about getting a work reference? Thanks in advance for your help.
