Letter of Rec not in English?

Post by jetsfan1 » Wed Aug 12, 2015 7:05 am

Is this possible? If so, how would it work? Would you have to find someone to translate it and then have that person submit it to LSAC? Or would you have it translated and have the original writer upload it? Thanks all.

Not possible. Don't do it, a translated letter will most likely read like shit.

Because a translated letter may state something the person recommending did not intend or mean to say, it is best to find an English speaker or English written letters. This avoids confusion and misstatements.

Stop, chimp. If the content is objectionable then report the post. Just because the account has a school name doesn't make the content bad, and the poster hasn't been spamming or promoting the school.

Am I still allowed to send them DMs recommending that they "kill self"?
