Prof not responding to LoR request

[maozedong]

I sent my prof a request 3 days ago, but she still hasn't replied. Should I be worried? She is also on sabbatical.

Kinda late in the season to ask for a LOR, in my opinion. I sent out requests late Sept/early Oct.

 

What I would do is, wait until a week has passed since you sent the email. If she still hasnt replied by then, email her again asking if she had the opportunity to read your first email and attach a copy of the your first one below. In the meantime, I would find alternative LOR writers cause sometimes (esp. profs on sabbatical) they dont have the time to write one.
