I would find a replacement but this was the first clinical lab that I worked at. All of my other experiences were based in social psych. And the the place I worked at specialized in the specific area I want to get my Ph.D. in. I asked if the letter would also include my self awareness of my weaknesses and my efforts in learning but never received a straightforward answer about it. Maybe I should just ask if this letter would overall be positive otherwise I don't think it'll help me out

Hi All, I will be applying to Ph.D. programs in clinical psychology for Fall 2018 and needed advice on what I should do with one of my recommendations. I worked at a lab for over a year after graduation and recently asked them for a recommendation. I was notified that they would write me a letter but it would address both my strengths and weaknesses that they observed while I worked there. I made a few mistakes while working there but was quick in apologizing and diligently worked on improving my performance. I was just wondering how a letter like that, which will include my weaknesses as a researcher, would impact my chances of admission. Is it an automatic kiss of death? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Best, KingRAJ
