Writing my LOR for my Boss?

[ts10vsg]

Hi,

I dealing with kind of dilemma, my rec have asked me to right my own LOR's.

As some universities ask for atleast 3 LOR's I have prepared the same... can some one edit the LOR's (grammatical as well as suggest are they sounding similar?)

PM me for mail ur email address to recieve my drafted documents.

Any help is appreciated:)

All three letter writers asked you to write your own? That sounds pretty suspicious.

No not all, as I said "As some universities ask for atleast 3 LOR's I have prepared the same..." I meant that I have created three formats. As I dont know which format would just do good.

My Engineering proffessor & my industrial research mentor are readily written LOR, its just my boss

How about try: "Only a fool would turn down Firstname Lastname"

my understanding is that

- you need three LOR

- you have two recommender who are able to write the letter on their own (professor and mentor)

- only your boss asked you to write one on your own for him/her to review

If that's the case, why do you need "three formats" unless the programs you are applying are very different from each other? Couldn't you just draft one and make as many copies as the number of schools you are applying to?

If you meant giving your boss three different drafts to pick from then I don't think that's necessary. Just write one perfect one and submit it to your boss. He/she will make changes if there are something he/she doesn't like

Both of my schools' LORs took the form of essay questions along with a scaled ranking. For those questions that discussed my achievements, my boss wanted me to fill out what I have done during my tenure there. For those questions that dealt with his opinion of my performance, he filled those out along with the scaled ranking. Nothing resembling a full LOR pre-write though.

For those in the same situation--how do you go about writing it?

I don't even how to start, let alone the content.

If my "boss" didn't have the time to actually write my letter, I'd simply ask someone else.

I think most committees will be able to tell the difference, and if your boss doesn't have the time to write a few rec letters, that means he's not particularly involved in your career.
