Just submitted my Harvard app (REA). Fingers-crossed.
I’m getting an additional rec letter from a fellow church parishioner. He and I are wondering if he can tailor his letter specifically for Harvard for my Harvard application, and then after November 1st, when I send him invitations for rec letters for my other schools, he can just generalize the letter and copy and paste. Is this possible? Or can he only write one general rec letter and just copy and paste it to all of the schools I am applying to, including Harvard - meaning he can’t Harvard-ize the letter for my Harvard deadline of November 1st.
He can tailor his rec if he wants to take the time to do so. Harvard (and every other school) does not expect a tailored rec, so the is no advantage to doing so. But if he wants to spend the time, he’s more than welcome.
Thank you! Just gonna send the general letter, then.
Hello, what category in the other recommender did you put your fellow church parishioner?
