Importance of Rec Letters????
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2016 11:25 pm
Hello-
Can someone objectively share the importance of recommendation letters?
I am aware numbers are the most important thing but what if you send in general, bland "I dont really know this student" letters?
How badly will lame, unspecific letters harm you?
I am getting professors to write me letters, but none of which I am close to. How hard is it to be close to professors in a class of 80? Honestly.
And one professor said "I'll have to think about it... I'm not sure I know you well" and this sucks because this professor is the one I actually tried hard to bond with...
