Supplies to give prof for LoR
From my professor:
"You should give your writers a list of the courses you've taken w/them, the semester and the grade (makes it easier than having to look it up cold), your writing sample, and the name of the schools to which you will apply. "
What exactly is the writing sample I should be giving to the professor? The one I wrote during the LSAT?
So unless I'm forgetting something, I should give them:
A list of classes I took with them
Resume?
Writing sample (whatever that is)
Envelope addressed to LSAC with a stamp
The appropriate LSAC paperwork
Am I missing something?

Re: Supplies to give prof for LoR
The writing sample could be something you wrote for that professor or perhaps an editorial or article that has been published. If you don't have a good writing sample, just forget it. I never gave my recommenders a writing sample.gmreplay wrote:From my professor:

Personal Statement is what he is referring to...thesis could work also

You could give them your DS or PS to help show them what you're alread presenting to the schools.

If you have a draft of your PS, that might be helpful.

Re: Supplies to give prof for LoR
I wouldn't give a draft, but then again I went to a school wound up in its own reputation, one that the profs bought into

Re: Supplies to give prof for LoR
I read somewhere that you shouldn't give your PS over because you don't want the PS and LoR to look too similar. Thoughts?
Thanks for the quick responses btw guys.

Re: Supplies to give prof for LoR
I put some things that I thought it would be good for the prof to include. Like I had one of my recommenders for 3 classes and out of 9 exams I had the absolute highest grade across all sections on 8 and was number 2 on the 9th so I wrote him a letter specifying that with all my saved exams. The other was an upper level English seminar and I provided copies of my final paper. For my 3rd lor (for schools that I thought it might be a boost) I specifically wrote out for my supervisor what law schools wanted to know and some things I though would be good to write about. If you can't write your lor with the person at least let them know what you would like them to touch on.

I actually did this for one of my professors from study abroad; after the fact of course. He was a pretty cool T.Amasochist wrote:Add a bottle of whisky. Professors are people toogmreplay wrote:From my professor:
