mks114 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 It's been a while since I've had to get any letters or rec... and I'm wondering, what's the typical way to thank professors for writing them these days? Would a thank you card suffice? A small gift? What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postbib Yeshuist Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm planning a card and a small gift. Perhaps a gift card to a good restaurant ($10-15), but I'd prefer to find something "cool." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovethequestions Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I gave my recommenders a card and a jar of homemade caramel sauce. They all seemed pleased but surprised, so I think that a card would probably be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndiligent Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I sent a hand-written thank you card to each of them shortly after the deadline for the final letter. Once I've made a decision, I'm going to send a short letter telling them where I was accepted and where I ended up. With that, I'm thinking of sending a $10 coffee-related gift card or something along that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Horner Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm sending each of my LoR writers a hand-written note and a framed print with a quick note on the back of the frame. Make it personal, and your professors will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
