<p>I'm currently applying to Master of Public Health programs and getting LORs has been a rough situation...to say the least. I had been in contact with my advisor the last couple of weeks and usually emailing him has never been an issue. I finally asked him if he would be willing to write a letter of recommendation for me and suddenly....no response. I graduated over a year ago, and don't have many professor/faculty members who I can say I am close to but my advisor is one of the few exceptions. </p>
<p>Another professor who I emailed actually wrote an LOR for me last year (...until financial and family situations put my applications on hold at the time). I know right after the summer she went on maternity leave but I don't know for how long. It could have been one semester or one year for all I know. Luckily all my LORs at the time were done before fall semester so there was no time issue or coming close to deadlines.</p>
<p>Now I want to apply again but no one is being responsive to my emails regarding LORs. I emailed another professor who I talked to a lot and got an A in his class so I was hoping he would remember me. When I use to email him before he was always quick to respond. Now, nothing.</p>
<p>Am I doing something wrong? I live in another city and my jobs make it hard for me to travel so I can't just go see my professors in person. I'm guessing that's what made it easy before-I always saw my LOR writers in person. I'm feeling pretty hopeless, I was in a really bad place last year and it crushed me to put my applications on hold for so long. Now things are better and I can get back into it...but this whole LOR thing is making it really hard. Just emailing my professors and advisor about it was nerve-wracking enough. Zero responses has just made me very nervous lol. </p>
