<p>She asked me whether I wanted to read it and I’m super curious. Am I allowed to read it even though I waived my rights? I didn’t ask her whether I could read it, she offered it to me. Also, my recommendations have already been sent so I couldn’t ask my teacher to change anything anyway.</p>
<p>You may. </p>
<p>You waived your right to have access to it upon your request. But you may still read it if she offers it to you.</p>
<p>^are you sure? It’s been a long time but I was under the impression the waiver was that you waived access to it under any circumstance.</p>
<p>I had a writer once email me my LOR (for my MSTP applications) unprompted after it had been submitted. I chose to wait until after I had interviewed everywhere out of the fear that I would unintentionally say stuff that sounded too much like the LOR and because it just didn’t seem appropriate to read until everything was pretty much said and done. If you’ve had your Brown interview already and this person isn’t writing your common app LOR that could go to a bunch of schools for RD, I’d say why not. If this person is being used for RD schools, I would wait until all the interviews are done at least.</p>
<p>The waiver limits the student from asking Brown to see the LOR. This doesn’t preclude the LOR writer from giving access to the student.</p>
<p>Since she gave it to you, you are free to read it.</p>
<p>Thanks, everybody! So I read it and oh my gosh. She overdid it so much hahahahaha. It was a GREAT LOC, but um, it sounds so fake. But then again, English isn’t a language she’s comfortable with at all. I hope the admissions officers look over the overdone bits.</p>
<p>I hate to see students analyze and second guess the writer. That’s why it is a good idea to follow I wanna be Brown advice and just read it later. There’s some people posting here who freak out and stress over it after reading the letter, for no reason.</p>
