Embellished LOR Question...

Post by joshua1415 » Thu Jul 08, 2010 1:42 pm

So I have 3 letters of recommendation that I am expecting before I apply this fall. One is finished and I am still waiting on the other two. However, I just got through reading the one that is finished and I must say it is a bit over the top. The letter is from my current employer and it exaggerates my g.p.a. and how long I have worked at this present job. The rest of the letter is really good but it is this part that makes me worried.

As I already stated, I have three letters of recommendation -- 1 from a professor and 2 from current employers. So my dilemma is, should I go ahead and send all three of them together or should I just send the two others that I am expecting (assuming they're not as bad of course)? I would appreciate any input that you have.

Also, this LOR has already been sent to LSAC and I really don't want to go through the hassle of asking this person to write another one. Thanks!

Your LOR writer went to the trouble of writing a letter for you, so I expect he or she would rather make two small corrections and let you use the letter than have you effectively throw it away. Why not just thank the person and point out that the GPA and time at the job need to be corrected?
