cheeseandcrackers Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I'm planning on applying to MPP programs this year. I had previously applied to law schools and used LSAC, to whom my law school reccomenders had sent their recc. letters. LSAC makes sending these letters to different schools as easy as one or two clicks. Is there an equivalent for MPP programs? I am afraid I am going to have to individually hand-mail my recc. letters school-by-school (especially since I'm living abroad!).
amlobo Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I'm applying to PhD programs, but they all require online submissions of LORs by the recommenders themselves. Once I open my application, it will send emails to my recommenders with a link to the LOR website. I know there are some services that will compile LORs for you, but it is not like LSAC, and not all schools will accept them from the services.
cheeseandcrackers Posted August 24, 2012 Author Posted August 24, 2012 Wow. That's frustrating. It seems that I need to mail them individually, then. Wow. How much more inefficient can the process get?
amlobo Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I think for grad school (as opposed to law school), school-specific letters are more common since professors may have connections at a certain school or want to include information about a specific program. Applying to law school is a much more generic process, since they tend to look more at your GPA/LSAT stats. I do wish they had something like LSAC... it was so easy for applying to law school!
