Hi hi! So I was accepted to my MA program of choice this cycle; I knew all of my recommenders very well (took courses with all of them, one was my honors thesis advisor and another my undergrad advisor, with the third being someone I took three courses with and was hugely influential in getting me to pursue graduate studies at all) and know they wrote strong/favorable recommendations. I of course waived the right to read them during the application process, but now I'm wondering if it's some kind of faux pas to ask to read them? Maybe in the conversation that ensues when I give them the thank-you notes I still need to write? I have a sense they played a huge role in my acceptance (my senior year GPA was just plain bad, there's no getting around it), and I'm incredibly curious as to their tone/what was covered/what traits of mine they emphasized and how well it did or didn't line up with my statement of purpose. Thanks in advance!
