fingerscrossedSLP Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) First time grad applicant so bear with me lol. I've sent an email to two profs asking for letters of recommendation almost 3 weeks ago. The first one responded the same day only a few hours later, but the second one hasn't given me anything in response. Maybe it's too early but I'm not sure if I should assume that he's not interested, if I should send a follow up, or move onto another potential professor. And if I do go with someone else, I'm not sure what I would say if the no-response prof does decide to reply. Thoughts? Should I calm down and wait longer? Thanks! *Also, can confirm that I have the right email address and he definitely knows who I am since I added him on LinkedIn not too long ago and I took his class last semester.

Sigaba Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Unfortunately, uncommunicative professors is a recurring theme, season after season. You may find field/discipline specific guidance in the SLP forum but if you're willing to dig in this forum, you may find guidance that is useful, if not exactly comforting. FWIW, I recommend that you follow your instinct to "calm down and wait longer." fingerscrossedSLP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
