Hello, so a few weeks ago I asked several professors for letters of recommendation, as I need two for an application, and I will admit that it was a bit short of notice. I went to the office of one of my professors rather than sending her an email, and after we talked for a bit she said she'd be happy to do it and to send her a reminder of our conversation through email. I did so, and she responded, asking me to respond once more and change the subject of our email thread to include the due date.
Fast forward to to this past Monday (a week from the deadline), and I sent her this reminder:
Hi Dr. _______
This is a brief reminder that the letter of recommendation for my ______ Application is due next Monday, February 15th.
If you would like a copy of my personal statement or any other documents, I would be happy to send them to you.
Thank you again for taking the time to write a letter of recommendation on my behalf. I greatly appreciate your kindness and the time you have spent, and I will keep you updated about my application process.
Best,
(Sorry about the weird formatting all of a sudden.)
I didn't receive a response, so I sent another reminder yesterday - is this where I went wrong? I sincerely hope that I am not nagging her. This is what I sent on Thursday:
Hi Dr. ______,
This is a quick followup to ask if you could let me know when you have sent my letter of recommendation for _______. Thank you again.
Best,
I will be on campus this afternoon and am thinking of stopping by her office, though I doubt she will be there. My other concern is that classes are not in session on Monday, so I doubt she will be there then, either. Any suggestions? Thank you all very much.
