Recommendation Letters
I am currently working on my application for grad school, and wondering when I send my request for the recommendation letter, should I also send my complete or work in progress portfolio to remind them of who I was ?
1 - As early as possible.
2 - If you have to remind them who you are, you shouldn't be asking them to write a recommendation.
Thanks!
3 - Have you already confirmed that the instructor is available and willing to write by a certain date?
Thanks, I will send a confirmation email.
Sent emails to 2 of my profs, they replied "happy to support! etc..." Thank you, this definitely a great first step.
Well done, on you and them! The initial request is helpful to both student and instructor. And always remember to include that magic information: when the letter's due. A few days versus a few weeks can make a big difference in the ability to help.
Gotcha! I'll make sure to do that in my next emails. Again, thanks!
