My school is very small and my professors refuse to give us recommendation letters because they don't want us to leave. Its very selfish I know but what can I do?

Did anybody apply without sending a recommendation?

Thanks!!!

There are some schools (NYU maybe?) that don't require recs. Also, is this just a rumor that you've heard? Or have you asked your profs and this is what they told you?

I guess it is more of like a student rumor because some have asked and not gotten it.

Thanks for the replies.

I transferred TTTT --> T20 without any recommendation letters. Your 1L GPA and Class Rank are key.

Rec letters are completely school specific. As has been said, most schools require them, but some don't. Most T14 want em.

If the school wants rec letters but doesn't explicitly state they must be from current LS professors, try a letter from the UG profs who wrote your letters for 1L admission -- Obviously this is less risky the better your grades/class rank is.

Schools want law professors/lecturers.
