Work supervisor has not sent any recommendation letters (deadline December 1st). Advice?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

My work supervisor has not sent any recommendation letters out, despite multiple reminders, and having 1-2.5 months to complete them. I even asked her to please just use the same letter for every school, and she said it "makes it a bit easier." A few days ago, she commented that she will "try her best, but 15 schools is a lot, and [she] cannot guarantee [she] will get to them." I don't take these applications lightly in the slightest and this is really hard for me to deal with. I have asked her one moth earlier as well, if she needed any help and I got no response. As far I know her, she is a responsible person. I have been pleading with her, and have been constantly worried for several days straight. As of 11/30/22, there is not a single letter submitted. 

I am applying for Clinical Psychology PhD programs, and I have 2 letters from my professors and research mentors. She would be the clinical reference I suppose. She is a counselor herself. 

How would potential schools view this? Could it hurt my chances, even by a little? I would appreciate advice on this.

Update: Please ignore this post. She has submitted he letters, some late, but they are all submitted.
