courrier Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I am thinking about asking for the rec letter from a professor of the school i am applying to. I have taken her class when she taught at my school as a visiting lecturer. We have talked a lot, about research too. I am planning to ask letters for other school as well. What do you think? any idea would be welcome and appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crucial BBQ Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 She was the professor of a course you have taken and you claim the two of you have "talked a lot", including about research. Why wouldn't you ask her for an LOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Not weird at all. In my field, students often do a summer research project at schools other than their undergrad and their supervisors would definitely be writing LORs for them. And, since they know the school well, they probably will apply to at least one of the schools they've worked at. In my current program, I'd say about between 25% and 40% of admitted students spent some time at my school as an undergrad before (i.e. they would have a LOR from a prof in the program).

courrier Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 I am so late but I wanted to thank you for encouraging me to ask her! She very nicely accepted to write one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
